Massive Explosion Reported At Iran's Fordow Nuclear Facility

[rdean]

“The blast shook facilities within a radius of three miles. Security forces have enforced a no-traffic radius of 15 miles, and the Tehran- Qom highway was shut down for several hours after the blast.”

An explosion is believed to have damaged Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, which is being used to enrich uranium, Israeli intelligence officials have told The Times. Sources in Tel Aviv said yesterday that they thought the explosion happened last week. The Israeli Government is investigating reports that it led to extensive structural damage and 200 workers had been trapped inside.

You gotta wonder if it's related to Obama. He has been know to work below the radar. Look at that fantasic attack on Iran's computers. The attack ended with the computers playing "ACDC". Can't imagine that coming from some computer not American.

This is why foreign policy should never be turned over to the Republicans. They don't know what they are doing and have even less in people overseas than they do the average American, which isn't saying much of anything.

With Obama, we will never know. Which is how it should be. Republicans love enemies. They want lots of enemies and they want everyone to know who their enemies are. Smart presidents don't.

Oh please god let this be true

 

[Ringel05]

If it's true that would be the greatest news this year.
Of course, leave it to deanieboy to make it a Republican, Democrat thing........

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Obama did it.. wait for it... wait for it....

 

[Mr. H.]

Republicans love enemies.

We do love you.
Long time.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Republicans love enemies.

If for nothing other than the absurd component.

We already know Republicans want to punish the poor and the middle class to balance the budget. They used reconciliation to redistribute wealth of the nation to the top 1% and want to do nothing to fix their massive failure that doesn't include attacking the middle class and the poor.
Remember, Republicans want disaster victims to pay to be rescued. That's going on now. Remember, Republicans apologized to BP. Remember why? Because Obama wanted BP to pay for it's mess but Republicans wanted the middle class to pay, this is why they apologized to BP.
You guys want an "AH HA!" moment so bad. But you should pick your "moments". Most Americans were shocked at the BP apology. Most Americans felt it was BP who should apologize. And when it comes to turning backs on disaster victims, again, most Americans were shocked that anyone could be so callous.

Many threads about this one....and so.... I say it once again.... any explosions in Iran's nuclear facilities are welcome!

I suppose I should apologise, having obviously misunderstood you in the past.
Now, I'm absolutely SURE you're full of shit.

That's because Republicans believe in bombs and bullying. After the Iraq fiasco, we certainly don't want Republicans in charge of foreign policy.
Think of the wealth that is gone because of Iraq. Think of the tens of thousands of Americans maimed and dead. We are going to be paying untold billions for the next 50 years. Without Iraq, you could probably drop the deficit down at least 4 trillion. 3 for the war itself, 1, at least, for the injured GI's. It's ridiculous to blame Iraq on Democrats. Republicans took full credit for Iraq all the way up to when we realized it was a fiasco. Then they blamed it on Democrats.

If this had happened when Bush was president you would be screaming about him attacking another country.

Jerk.

Iran deploys S-300 missile defense system around nuclear site
Monday 29th August, 2016 - Iran has deployed the Russian-supplied S-300 surface-to-air missile defense system around its Fordow underground uranium enrichment facility, Iranian state media reported on Monday, August 29, according to Reuters.

"Our main priority is to protect Iran's nuclear facilities under any circumstances," Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps' (IRGC) air defense force told state Iranian TV. Iran and the six major powers reached a landmark nuclear deal in 2015 aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Tehran over its disputed nuclear work.

Enrichment of uranium at the Fordow facility, around 100 km south of Tehran, has stopped since the implementation of the nuclear deal in January. Russia, under pressure from the West, in 2010 canceled a contract to deliver S-300s to Iran. But Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted that self-imposed ban in April 2015, after an interim deal was reached between Iran and the six powers.

In August, Iran said that Russia had delivered main parts of the system to the country, adding that the missile system would be completely delivered by the end of 2016. The IRGC's Esmaili did not say whether the system was operational, but added: "Today, Iran's sky is one of the most secure in the Middle East".
