1. unlikely that the explosion at parchin was an accident
CJK   (10.08.14)
the explosion was huge. an enormous orange flash illuminated the sky over tehran, windows were blown out at a distance of fifteen kilometers, and trees were burnt in villages surrounding parchin. it seems more likely that sabotage was involved. parchin is the site of iran's weaponisation program. it is also the site of drone production. hopefully several critical areas within the complex were blown up, including the explosion chamber. time will tell.
2. Just waiting for these as*****les to make a mistake

The whole country will be history. Hopeless lying murderers
3. Ynet is engaged in speculation and rumor mongering, as usual

"If the "smoking gun" for the existence of the weapon group is found, it will serve as decisive evidence that Iran has been lying and that there is no point in negotiating with it. Iran's refusal to open Parchin to international inspection and present the activity taking place at the site only increases the suspicions against the Islamic Republic."! If and only if. Happy wet dreams, Ynet.
4. So Has Bibi Been RIGHT All A Long!!!

Your Dam right, however how will This And ALL The Other incidents involving tehran's Secret Nuclear Weapons Program Be Looked At By The pathetic 5+1 and the iaea??? Oh yea don't forget about the back door deals made by Israel's ally b.H.o.??? Is Ha Shem Shinning Light On The Darkness???

Really? Do you truly mean to suggest that Natanz, Fordow, Qazvin and Parchin were all "work accidents?" How about the mysterious explosions at two facilities in one night -- a chemical weapons research and development center and a missile storage center? Were those "work accidents," too? Qazvin burned for a month. Parchin is still burning. Those "work accidents" must be taking quite a heavy toll. And it wasn't two people who were killed -- it was two hundred. Let us pray for more Iranian "work accidents." It can only have a beneficial affect on the Iranian gene pool. I know that the Iranian people are not particularly bright, but if they really are all that dumb, they shouldn't be building nuclear facilities to begin with.
6. Oh, exceptional achievement ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.08.14)
... it was. But not by the Iranians; no matter how well-meaning the desire of the dissidents. Parchin (like Qazvin, Natanz and Fordow before them) were massive explosions that can only have been effectuated by explosives the kind of which Iran does not have, least of all Iranian civilians. The explosions in all four were not set on the ground; they are the result of skillful air bombardment conducted by a country that knows how to blind Iranian radar and supported by high-resolution aerial photography, from satellite and drone photography. There is only one country with the ability and the stones to boldly enter Iranian airspace -- undetected -- and carry out these attacks. Israel. Only Israel has the boots on the ground in Iran to direct the bombing raids with pinpoint accuracy, and only Israeli boots on the ground could have slipped a thumb drive carrying a simple bit of malware that has brought hell upon Iran's nuclear facilities. Iran is Israel's bitch. We say "stay," they sit. We say "roll over and play dead," they roll over and die. No playing. Iran's entire missile reserves have been rendered irrelevant. The short-range missiles with which they hoped that Hamas and Hezbollah could defeat Israel (LOL!) have been rendered one giant waste of research, development and money by Iron Dome. The Iranians are feeling the heat. The Revolutionary Guard is taking a terrible beating in Syria. Iran's weapons shipments have been carefully isolated and destroyed by Israel, causing great humiliation to Iran, not to mention the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars. Iran doesn't have a lot of useful foreign cash reserves. Like I said, it's time they recognized that they are Israel's bitch. They do what we want, or we make it happen anyway. You can tell that the Iranian government in running scared, in subtle ways. Increased numbers of arrests in Iran; increased executions -- the Iranians are running scared. As well they should.

Because they can't, moron. Israel's large family of malware continues to evolve, and continues to wreak havoc on Iran's dedicated nuclear networks. Centrifuges continue to speed out of control, risking a nuclear explosion that will destroy what is left of Iran's nuclear facilities. Haven't you been paying attention? Israel announces a new weapons system, the next day, Iran announces one of its own. Three in the month of September alone. The difference being that Israel's are real, whereas Iran's are a product of imagination and Photoshop. But don't worry -- if it's occupation you're worried about, fear not. Israel has every intention of ending the illegal Arab occupation of Jewish land. Bet you feel better already!
8. Believing liars
Jake ,   Jerusalem   (10.08.14)
Iran has never told the truth; it is contrary to the way of Islam. Muhammad deceived his so called allies and then conquered them one by one. Each conquered group believed his lies. The Islamic fundamentalists believe that the Koran is a source book for them to follow in conquering the world. Lying and terror are integral parts of Islam. Don't take my word, buy a Koran and read it in the toilet. It is worth knowing your enemy.
