'Mysterious' Blast At Isfahan Severely Damages Iranian Nuclear Facility

There was another huge blast at an Iranian nuclear facility two days ago, a blast that rocked the city of Isfahan and was heard for miles away.

The Iranian regime is characterizing it as an accident, just as they did the blast on November 12 at a key missile and weapons testing base west of Tehran.

After hearing from one of my sources, I can confirm that the 'accident' came from Isfahan's uranium enrichment facility, which was severely damaged. According to my source there were also a number of casualties among the Revolutionary Guard and a couple of key scientists, including one Russian technician.

The London Times confirmed that there was damage to the site using satellite imagery.

The Isfahan plant is - or was- a key part of Iran's nuclear production chain. It went into operation in 2004, using uranium to produce uranium fluoride gas(UF6), which then feeds the centrifuges that enrich the uranium.

Since 2004, huge amounts of uranium fluoride gas had been stockpiled at Isfahan and subsequently sent to the enrichment plants in Natanz and Qom.So if it was sabotage,this was a particularly target rich environment.

The Israelis were customarily closed mouthed about any involvement they might have had, as they always are. But there were a couple of broad hints dropped.

Dan Meridor. the Israeli Intelligence Minister was quoted as saying "There are countries who impose economic sanctions and there are countries who act in other ways in dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat."

Major-General Giora Eiland, Israel's former director of national security, told Israel's army radio that the Isfahan blast was no accident. "There aren't many coincidences, and when there are so many events there is probably some sort of guiding hand, though perhaps it's the hand of G-d."

Looking at the whole series of mysterious explosions affecting Iran's key nuclear facilities, perhaps General Giora is on to something.

I would also remind my readers again of the existence of the Iranian dissident group known as the Mujahadeen-e-Khalq (MEK),an underground organization that is one of the chief opposition groups to the Iranian regime. Both the EU and US have designated MEK a terrorist group, since they've used violence as part of their resistance activities.

Remember that old Middle East proverb - 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.'
