Iran/ Nuclear facilities bombed by Israel

Cheerful Spring2

Iran distributed an announcement today confirming a bomb had been planted in one of their underground nuclear facilities and went off and caused substantial damage. A number of separate non-nuclear sites also damaged and we have not got confirmation yet from Iran what caused that.

Iran on Tuesday called for action against Israel, following a recent blast at the Natanz nuclear facility that has been blamed on the Jewish state.

“This method Israel is using is dangerous, and it could spread to anywhere in the world,” government spokesman Ali Rabiei said during a press conference, according to a translation of his remarks by Israel’s Channel 12 news.

He added: “The international community must respond and set limits to these dangerous actions by the Zionist regime.”

His comments came as Iran appeared to publicly acknowledge on Tuesday that last week’s fire at Natanz, which damaged a building used for producing centrifuges, was not an accident.

Nour News, seen as a mouthpiece of Iran’s Supreme Council of National Security, claimed that the blast at the Natanz facility, which came amid a series of mysterious disasters that struck sensitive Iranian sites in recent days, bore similarity to other strikes against the country’s security infrastructure.
The Washington Post and New York Times quoted Middle Eastern officials earlier this week as saying the blast at Natanz was caused by a large bomb planted by Israeli operatives.

Even CNN reckon there is something "more" to it.

Israel have been doing this for years within Syria and Iran on any Iranian proxies or hell anywhere they see fit because no one ever condemns them other then the UN. They do whatever they want whether it's the above or to innocent Palestinians. America will never say its bad so on they go.

When it comes to Iran and Israel, it's challenging to cut through the bias, misinformation and blatant PSYOPS of any event.

Israel managing to successfully strike sensitive or strategic targets in Iran, without being challenged is not outside the realms of possibility.

However IF it was legitimate, its less likely that Iran would admit that Israel conducted a successful attack. Thats an admission of defeat, an acknowledgement that Israel have superior capabilities, a powerless Iran. Of course, Israel rarely confirm/deny external military operations, it suits them to take blame either way. Its good for Bibi.

Could be sabotage, a malfunction or anything....a series of them .

Anything that happens in Iran will automatically be attributed to Israel or the US. This is Irans attempts of engaging the international community against Israel, not quite as effectove as the Maximum Pressure Campaign against Iran.

This may well be political football, Syria will continue to act as a proxy battlefield between Israel-Iran, plenty of opportunites for both.

Al Arabiya is reporting that explosions have occurred in the Revolutionary Guards missile warehouses southwest of Tehran.

Lot of activity on twitter about explosions heard in Tehran. I have read info Iran has fired anti-missiles into the air and shot a plane or drone down?. Lot of speculation and rumor right now about this, nothing confirmed yet and may end up being false.

Israel keeps chipping away at Iran nuclear capability because they know the they will be the first target.

Satellite picture of the bomb blast at the Iranian/ Natanz nuclear facility.




Still unconfirmed what occurred last night. Iran denies anything happened. Outside the country sources claim a IRGC missile site got blown up last night. Israel stepped up its effort to cripple Iran nuclear program. Will there be an Iranian military/cyber response?

We could be seeing a monumental change in the middle east very soon.

In recent weeks, Iran and China have been hammering out the details of a potentially momentous cooperation deal meant to span the next quarter-century and chart a future decoupled from the United States.

Under the terms of a draft viewed by Asia Times, China will invest tens of billions of US dollars in Iran as part of Beijing’s ambitious Road and Belt Initiative. The 25-year agreement includes economic, security, and military dimensions.

Such a deal is particularly important for Iran’s ailing energy sector, which is in dire need of substantial investment to refurbish an aging oil industry, which requires upwards of $150 billion for much-needed modernization of wells, refineries and other infrastructure.

One of the secret elements of the deal signed last year is that China will invest US$280 billion in developing Iran’s oil, gas, and petrochemicals sectors. This amount will be front-loaded into the first five-year period of the new 25-year deal, and the understanding is that further amounts will be available in each subsequent five year period, provided that both parties agree. There will be another US$120 billion of investment, which again can be front-loaded into the first five-year period, for upgrading Iran’s transport and manufacturing infrastructure, and again subject to increase in each subsequent period should both parties agree. In exchange for this, to begin with

“There is a meeting scheduled in the second week of August between the same Iranian group, and their Chinese and Russian counterparts, that will agree the remaining details but, provided that goes as planned, then as of 9 November, Sino-Russian bombers, fighters, and transport planes will have unrestricted access to Iranian air bases,” he said.

Israel and United States are very unhappy about this i say. Could explain why Israel stepped up its efforts to hit the Iranian nuclear program?

Title seems presumptive.

When Israel does something like that, they have a history of being pretty blatant about it. They like to make sure people know they can go where they want with impunity. Look at the two strikes on the Osirak nuclear reactor. When the Iranians bombed it, it was left open to speculation for a while who did it. When the Israelis bombed it a few months later, they put out a press release. Same after the PLO camp strike in Libya, or, much more recently, when Israel attacked Iranian targets in Syria a few weeks ago.

This is because iran has been supporting the ethnic cleansing in jews in arab countries recently.

Particularly in yemen.

IMO israel just needs to get the jews out of these countries NOW before its too late.

I made a thread on this.Recently in Syria Lebanon and Yemen the local jews have been imprisoned killed and their human rights abused.

This is really not showing much in depth knowledge of what is going on.

Why do you Israel does this?

What is happening to the jews in those countries right now? Or do people just not care?
