they should give iranian nuke engineers combat pay; their life expectancy can't be very long
Report: Israeli officials 'confirm' blast in FordoIsraeli officials have apparently confirmed that an explosion had taken place on Fordo, the British Times reported Monday.
Fordo is considered to be Iran's second-largest nuclear facility and the site of the 2,700 centrifuges, all enriching uranium to 20% level – at which it can be weaponized.
Two top Iranian officials – Deputy Head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency Seyyed Shamseddin Barbroudi and chairman of the Iranian parliament’s Committee for Foreign Policy and National Security Alaeddin Boroujerdi, dismissed the reports of the blast – carried by American news website WMD – and referred to them as "Western-made propaganda."
According to the Times, while WND could not supply any independent corroboration for the report, an Israeli defense official allegedly said that "We're still trying to understand exactly what happened… We don't know if this was sabotage or an accident."
The newspaper further quotes Home Front Defense Minister Avi Dichter as saying: "Any explosion in Iran that doesn’t hurt people but hurts its assets is welcome."
