Iranian Explosion or was it a tree in the woods?

Well, it seems an explosion took place this morning at or near a Nuke facility in the Bushehr Province in Iran. Yet, to hear everyone it would seem it is their version of TWA800, many early thoughts but all denying the worst.

First, early today (2/16), we heard that an explosion, a major one, was both heard and seen in the region. First reports were sketcy and claimed it was a road building project, this dropped off early news reports fast and replaced by a report from a government official, Ali Agha Mohammedi who then claimed it was a dam project.

The early reports being promulgated by an official with the Supreme National Security Council was that it was an explosion related to a Dam building project.

Second, we then began to get reports from the unnamed source field that claimed eye witnesses saw a missile fired from an unidentified plane cause the explosion at the Nuke Facility that will be operational in mid 2005. These reports were quickly refuted by Iranian sources, who were equally unnamed.

Finally, the latest reports are that the explosion came from a fuel tank that was dropped by a passing aircraft. You know that seems to be happening far too frequently lately.

So in the matter of 8 hours we have seen 4 or 5 different versions of the story. Let us hope whatever the story is that it was a direct hit on the Nuke facility!
