Explosion at the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ammunition depot near Tehran. Today the Israeli intelligence website DEBKA file claimed that their usual unnamed sources reported that one of the explosions in Iran was actually caused by a failed attempt to affix a nuclear warhead to a Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missile.
According to the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), an organization listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department which is oddly characterized as an “Iran exile group” by USA Today, the explosion wasn’t an accidental incident at an ammunition depot but instead was a missile base run by the Revolutionary Guard.
A mysterious explosion rocked the Iranian city of Isfahan. Isfahan is home to Iran’s largest nuclear technology research center. This comes about two weeks after an explosion at a military base which houses Iran’s missile development program.
According to some Israeli officials the first blast could possibly delay or bring to a halt Iran’s production of surface-to-surface missiles. Some of these missiles may have nuclear warheads and be capable of striking Israel, US military bases in the region and parts of Europe. Reports also indicate that the senior Iranian officer in charge of self-sufficiency for the missile unit was killed in the blast.
After the blast at the Iranian missile base, Time magazine quoted a Western intelligence source as saying not to “believe the Iranians that it was an accident.” Speaking about efforts to sabotage the Iranian ability to develop and deliver nuclear weapons the source continued to say that “there are more bullets in the magazine.”
