1. "Mysterious blasts" in Iran are starting to become epidemic
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.12.11)
2. Iran sure has some work place safety issues
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.12.11)
Why in the world would anybody ever bring ammunition into a steel foundry? This makes no sense whatsoever. Oh well another Iranian factory goes boom, may many more join them.
3. No coincidence here!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (12.12.11)
So many blasts in the last few weeks , all related in one way or another to the Iranian nuclear ambitions. Israel and the US are clearly showing to the world how advanced in intelligence and technology they are. No need to for explicit attacks to defeat the Iranians!
4. Three Buildings Down And Five To
(12.12.11)
go of the eight Known buildings in the iranian ILLEGAL Secret Nuclear Program! the little bearded monkey and his baba are the Head Of The Snake; Cut the Head OFF Of The Snake Off and the Body (hizbullah, syria, hamas, houthti's-yemani, spies in baharain, mahdi army/iraq) and The Body WIILL DIE. Five More mysterious EXPLOSIONS to the rest of iranain's Nuclear Enrichment buildings, Centrifuges, Heavy Water Plant. Then After All buildings are DESTROYED, the Illegal leader's who STOLE The Last Election will Become Mysteriously Sick and Die Every Last One Of Them STARTING From the Top All The Way To The Bottom!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Iranians claim blast occurred from left over munitions
William ,   Israel   (12.12.11)
my question is - what are munitions doing next to a steel mill in the first place? If this is how they handle explosives, then we can expect to see a lot more mishaps in the future.
6. This is fun
Chatich   (12.12.11)
We should start a pool, everyone can guess the date and location of the next Iranian work accident. The winner (though, we're all winners in this game!) could add a title to their talkbacks like "pridictor of persian providence". What do you say, gang? It'll be a blast! (sorry... :)
7. I didn't do it
Yerushalmi ,   Jerusalem   (12.12.11)

10. The President of Iran is shocked
Kwanku Dai ,   San Souci USA   (12.12.11)
Every day he returns home and opens his refrigerator door to get something to drink and sees a picture of himself with a bullseye target over his face . He told the Iranian news agency that he does NOT believe this is a threat. The Republican Guard said there is no way that intelligence people from other Nations could have gained access to the the Tehran Zoo.

17. #7. I know you didn't do it
A ,   Belgium   (12.12.11)
I did! With my remote controlled model of a WW1 Gotha bomber, launched outside of Antwerpen! Let the Iranians figure THAT one out.

rachel ,   tel aviv israel   (12.12.11)
know it was no accident. May the Iranians have many more such "work accidents" in their near future. This is much more fun than watching Palestinians blow themselves up making bombs.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.12.11)
Why, thank you. I actually commented on the earlier thread. But .... since you are so kind: 1. Yes, the factory was destroyed in the blast. 2. Yes, Israel is responsible. 3. Israel will always be one step ahead of Iran. 4. There are more such "accidents" to come. Many, many more. 5. Iran knew exactly who was responsible. That's why they ordered their terrorist toadies Hezbollah to fire a Katyusha into Israel. Unfortunately for Iran (and Hezbollah) however, the rocket severely undershot the target and fell on an apartment building in a Lebanese town, injuring a woman. Not sure if Hezbollah is that inept, or if Israel detected the firing and deliberately dropped it short of the mark. 6. Whatever happened to the much-ballyhooed Iranian "second and third generation centrifuges" that supposedly far exceed anything in the West? You know, the ones that Iran's "leaders" claimed to possess in more than sufficient quantity for enrichment purposes -- yet here they are, needing to build more. STUXNET and DUQU must REALLY have trashed Natanz -- which explains why it is not operational. 7. Looks like Iran is not having a particularly good day. They'd better get used to it, because there is more to come.
25. To: Maurice at No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.12.11)
Israel, yes -- the United States, no. First of all, given the current strained relations between Israel and the United States, Israel would never tip its hand not knowing what the U.S. administration would do with the information. Secondly, the CIA continues to be mole-ridden, and its operatives are largely bumbling and inept. The Mossad would never consent to work with an organization as defective and amateurish as the CIA.
26. To Sarah
Jeff Franklin ,   Dayton USA   (12.12.11)
I just read a book that tells me why people are picking on you. The title is - Why are Jews Liberals ? by Norman Podhoretz. Since the early 1960's I have always been shocked by the fact that Jews follow a way of thinking that is masochistic and suicidal. I never had an answer to this until I read this book . He said = " On this point, Podhoretz is at his best. Examining theories from the historic to the genetic, he postulates that liberalism has become the religion of American Jews, "even though it conflicts in substance with the Torah of Judaism at many points, and even though it is also at variance with the most basic of all Jewish interests- the survival of the Jewish people."
27. what happened persian cat does the
Barney ,   USA   (12.12.11)
cat have your tongue?
28. @ # 4
Jeremy ,   Chicago   (12.12.11)
Your calling their leader a 'monkey' hurts us, has strong racist overtones and weakens our casus belli. We all hate him. But remember there are gentiles who read this to gauge the mood of the Jewish community...let's not stoop to the level of the current Persian regime's racism and blind hatred for us. We will have to win the hasbara war just as thoughtfully as we do the sabotage, or air war.
29. what in the world is going on
andy prigge ,   ORANGEVILLE   (12.13.11)
Three very stupid things were said in the last 24hrs. Obama asks for the return of the drone, Assad will attack Israel if provoked, and this explosion was due to ammunition exploding in the steel mill. When i hear stupid stuff like this i am concerned about who holds the launch button.
30. #28 Calling da leader bad names...tsk
At the zoo   (12.13.11)
Would it make you feel better if we called him "two monkeys" instead of just "a monkey"...would the plural form be more acceptable, more polite? Let's face it, he looks like a simian and behaves like a mad ape in a Persian Bazaar...is there any better way to describe that non-evolved, retarded pre-hominid?
