HUGE EXPLOSION AT IRANIAN PETROCHEMICALS COMPLEX! 5 KILLED!

AND SO IT BEGINS?

Did you even read the article OP?

This was at a petrochemical facility, not nuclear.

You mislead with your thread title.

You should change it to save your credibility.

IT WAS NOT AN IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITY...

I REPEAT: IT WAS NOT AN IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITY.



YOU´RE DECEIVING THE PEOPLE, SO FIX THIS TITLE.

A massive explosion killed at least five workers at the giant Pardis petrochemicals complex in southern Iran Wednesday, August 4, at around 12:30


OP is phail.

The OP is American. We are taught to deceive, just like our government does to us.

For a minute there, the thought of OP working at Fox News crossed my mind.

Thank you...too excited and flew right over it. Change made. Thanks.

ANY WHO! :) So...the explosion apparently was closely timed with the attacks on Ahmijeds7araead or how ever you spell his name.

He was unhurt though his body guards were injured. I'll tell you what...those Iranians must be tough. If they were on foot I can't imagine a grenade only injuring people.

Says the pres was in an armored convoy...guess that would explain only injuries.

"Iranian officials admit that large sections of the complex were destroyed but attributed the blast to a ruptured gas pipe."

"Assaluyeh, the site of the Pardis complex, is situated at the opposite end of Iran, on its southern Persian Gulf coast not far from the Bushehr nuclear reactor."

(same link as OP for copyright rules)

The plant is near the Bushehr Nuclear reactor.

They could be connected underground, or this plant that exploded could be a cover or storehouse for things to do with that nuclear reactor.

It may turn out to be a gas line as it says may be, or not connected to efforts to deter Iran's nukes.

But, you never know.

I wonder if it's close enough to the sea for a spec ops team to have infiltrated?

yep, but the article in the same paragraph goes on to say:

" debkafile's intelligence sources report that the plant was hit by five explosive devices. It was new, personally inaugurated on July 28 by President Ahmadinejad, who described it as a miracle of Iranian hi-tech."

Sounds like someone is up to something

Sounds fishy. Iranian press downplaying these events. Wonder what's really going on over there.

If this indeed did occur at the same time as the Attack on their president, this will have repercussions. There will be more to this story.

Then, there is this incident from the exact same area several days ago....


Explosion at Iranian petrochemical plant kills 4
2010-07-25 14:30:53

TEHRAN, July 25 (Xinhua) -- Four people were killed in an explosion which hit the Khark petrochemical plant in southern Iran's Bushehr province on Saturday evening, official IRNA news agency reported.

Gholamreza Keshtkar, a provincial official, confirmed the explosion and said the cause of the incident was high pressure in a central boiler, according to IRNA's report.

Khark petrochemical complex, which has more than 400 employees, is located on an island in the Persian Gulf.

Don't worry, the Iranian government will say it was just firecrackers.

Interesting - seems to be a reasonable attempt to soften the country up prior to an attack.

So...is this the same plant?

yep, was thinking the same. Definitely bears watching.

Or to at least gauge the responses of the people, the world, and the media.

No, it's not the same one. But it is in the same province as the new one.

That's what is weird huh?

Your article mentioned that one....

"Three days before the petrochemical complex was inaugurated, there was another mysterious explosion at a second energy plant, this one located on Kharg Island."

If the one on the island on the 25th was from natural causes, okay that explains it, if not, how did someone get the explosives to an to an island to blow it up? Sounds like a professional job if it was not natural causes.

But, it could be a coincidence that these 2 "natural caused" explosions at the same type of plants, in the same area, near a Nuclear reactor, happened within a few days of each other.

I don't know. Just seems strange.

Well, if it's not a coincidence we probably will know fairly soon as this activity should increase.

Sounds like 3 misses in one day.

You know what they say: THIRD TIMES A CHARM..

Mossad failed?

The geography is interesting. If you go to Google maps and enter "Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant" you can see it's on a peninsula in the far SW corner, and located on the water.

Then you zoom out a bit and see the Kharg Island where the first explosions and deaths took place, which is about 50 miles to the NNW of the nuclear plant by water. They have an airport and some roads on Kharg Island. But, not an easy place for an amateur to get explosives to. You'd have to bring them by boat or plane. Maybe a ferry?

Asalouyeh is where this latest explosion took place and it is located about 200 miles south of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. The plant is located on the water. The article from Debka may be a bit misleading saying it was "not far" the Nuclear plant. Over 100 miles is kinda far.

However the explosions took place in plants near the water in a sparse area where water could assist in a stealth way in and out.

So both explosions happened where water access is maybe the key if it were to be planned explosions.

Again could be natural and I am not suggesting anything here except that this is odd.

We shall see. Maybe make sense later as things unfold, maybe we won't hear of it again.
