It looks like ther were 17 deaths and the blast occurred when weapons were being moved inside a Revolutionary Guards depot.

Surely the contrary? That way, if they ever try to launch at Israel, they'll blow themselves up!

I can imagine in the case of that event there will be plenty out there who will refuse to believe Israels claims of innocence

So any country that has accidents involving munitions should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons?

Yes! We'd have a nuke-free world within a couple of days!

So, like in so many other modern day news stories ...

We get the truth the second or third round ...

growing pains for their ICBM program

Quote:
TEHRAN — A mysterious explosion at an Iranian military base last week was caused when a test of an experimental intercontinental ballistic missile failed, the brother of a senior Revolutionary Guard Corps commander who was killed in the incident said Saturday.
The commander, Gen. Hassan Tehrani Moqadam, was killed Nov. 12, along with 20 other members of the elite corps, at a site 25 miles southwest of Tehran that officials have described as one of the Islamic Republic’s main missile bases. At his funeral, Moqadam was called the “founder” of Iran’s missile program.
