In the voice of Michael Caine in the Italian Job - " your not supposed to blow the missiles up on the bloody base "
2. And when the zionists are indeed guilty, Iran is silent
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (11.13.11)
Poor mullahs ain't willing to admit that the Israelis got through their defenses and laid waste to one of their top missile installations. How embarrassing for the Iranians to be unable to blame Israel for this in order to save face.
3. This Was An Attack by the Israeli Infantry
Ahmad Cohen ,   Ibn Mousa HaLevy   (11.13.11)
The Israelis recruited the special infantry of Gan Yeladim to plan and execute this attack. The planning was done by some of the brightest kindergardeners of Gan Yeladim with operational support of Kippi from Rehov Sumsum. The Iranians didn't have a chance.

I don't Khomemi times. NEVER play with rockets indoors.
6. Missiles Off Course
Tambour ,   Eilat   (11.13.11)
One of the 30000 Suisides bombers being sent over across Iraq and Jordan, could have taken the wrong turn ??? If only Abu Ammama , as Muamer Geddafi, Z"L, used to call Obama, had sent some Seals into Iran to stiffen the Green movement before they got butchered. If Abu Ammama wants to win a second term, he should send some Seal Units in now. 5 such incidents, and the Greens would be on the streets again, and the Mullahs off to a better world
7. Of much interest: Who was killed and their names were not
Adam Smith   (11.13.11)
reported...??!!
8. Iran's 'highly advanced missiles'
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.13.11)
Seem to be about a good as what America had in the 1940s and 1950s. Oh wait their 'new' fighters are knock offs of 1950s US technology.
9. I'm fairly certain the death toll ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.13.11)
... was far higher. The base was annihilated. The intelligence assessment is that it was destroyed from the air. And the Iranians never saw Israel coming. Unlike Iran, Israel's military satellites actually work. So do our nukes. Iran needs to be very, very afraid. VERY AFRAID.
10. This is only a slap on the wrist from Israel
Israeli 2   (11.13.11)
Don't mess around with the only true super power!
11. I did it through remote viewing. Just as they test armed a
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.13.11)
missile, I focused on the FIRE button and it went off. I am amazed at how successful I was.
12. Accidents happen
Leon Zacharowicz MD ,   New York   (11.13.11)
I'm sure all these explosions are just due to accidents... Stuff happens :)
13. This was a repeat of Cyprus
jeff a. ,   nyc, ny   (11.13.11)
In July of 2011, a huge explosion rocked and destroyed a military base in Cyprus. The culprit? Intercepted Iranian munitions which were being stored. Apparently the shelf life of the munitions isn't too good. This had nothing to do with Israel - it's just dumb luck coincidence that the timing happened to coincide.
14. A War of Shadows!
Taz Man ,   USA   (11.13.11)
This was no accident...like all those other suspicious mishaps. You gotta love Israeli/American Special Forces. Keep-up the good work, boys'! God bless Israel and His Jerusalem (Muslim free)! A Christian Zionist

19. Explosion in Iran
Roxy ,   israel   (11.13.11)
So why are they not blaming Israel for it,like they blame Israel for everything else?
20. In Pal speak: "Work-related accident"

21. @ADAM IN LONDON: CLASSIC!
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (11.13.11)
GREAT QUOTE! LOVE THAT LINE!
22. Whatever the pay, it's not worth it
R ,   Israel   (11.13.11)
More Iranian nuke scientists die of work-related accidents than of cancer and heart disease, combined.
23. Maybe they also had computer problems.

24. @19
(11.13.11)
because if indeed it was israel, the iranians will never admit to it since it shows their forces and security in a bad way. it shows that infiltration of israeli agents conquered even the most secure iranian installation. why make israelis glee with pleasure??? after all, iran claims that with three missiles, it can annihilate the entire israeli population. apparently their missiles do not work as well as they claim they do. hameed aboughaze iranian
25. the truth is out there
Analyst   (11.13.11)
there is another explanation: the blast was heard 45 km away in tehran suburb. This means the explosion has to be particulary strong. The fact that a general is maong the dead impluie sthat the "official" explanation (a munition transport) is a lie. miliatry does not need generals to move explosive. No in my opinion, due to the recent tension with israel, the shiite leadership decide to put a number of shehabs in constrant readines, an thus began the fueling operation of a quantity of missile. Due to the force of the blast I would say around a dozen. Shehabs are similar tio the north korean missile Nodong. refueling thes etype of missile is dangerous, because a error can spark a explosion. This is the reason why it was supervized by a senior official specialized in missile tech. For some reason the fueling operation got wrong and provoke a chain explosion (first the special melange for the missile fuel, than the missile themselves)
26. Oh NO!
Talula ,   Israel   (11.13.11)
I heard it's going to rain today.
27. Nr 9.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.13.11)
This is the way it should be done, bouth Military and Civilian Expertice killed as the military target is destroyed. Arn.Sweden.
28. To # 4 - brilliant, thanks had a good laugh
ex-frummie ,   johannesburg S.A.   (11.13.11)
29. hameed @ 19, whether Iran will admit and blame
leo ,   usa   (11.13.11)
Israel or not and whether Israel will say anything or not does not matter. What matters is that both know the truth. Just because average John Doe is in the dark does not mean it did not achieve desired psychological result.
30. To: Roxy at No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.13.11)
Because they KNOW that Israel is responsible, they are quaking in their boots and they do not wish to incur Israel's increased ire. This time, Israel hit them where they live. They believed their own rhetoric that they were invincible and presented a credible threat to Israel. They need time to figure out where to scramble next.
