TEHRAN — Iran denied reports of a blast heard near a key nuclear facility on Tuesday, as new satellite pictures emerged of damage from an earlier explosion that left 17 dead at another location.
"In the afternoon, there was a noise like an explosion," provincial judiciary head Gholamreza Ansari was quoted as saying by ISNA news agency on Monday.

Test is done periodically, but if so, something has gone very wrong, it's about fissile material, the warning bells ring, when it comes to the atmosphere.

My, my, if them Iranians can't stop having suspicious expolsions, perhaps they aren't really ready to have the big fireworks...

How long before they blame the U.S., Israel, or both?...

One can only hope it took some important parts with it...

Frankly, I'm betting it was them. Good sabotage looks like an accident, after all.

They are trying enough to blame anyone, but this time its too late...

You mean you're not going to volunteer for diplomatic work, Jim? Well that's a downer, I was kind of betting that Geordie diplomacy would solve the Iranian problem before the year was out.

Why is the regime denying it? They had the one some months ago blaming it as an accident when moving "weapons." IMHO, had they said that it was sabotage, they may have gotten some support (at least outwardly) from some countries. Big A may be crazier than I thought.
