Is Israel Behind Deadly Blast in Iran

A few days ago we posted about the massive explosion in Iran at a military base.  One source was reporting that the explosion happened when scientists were attempting to attach a nuclear warhead to a missile.  Of course we don't know that to be true, but if it is then Iran is a lot further along in it's nuclear weapons program than all of us football fans are aware of.

And of course we have Netanyahu coming out and saying exactly that.... Iran IS A LOT CLOSER to a bomb than people think.

Iran is closer to assembling a nuclear bomb than "people think," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday, following a the publication of a report by the United Nations' nuclear watchdog on Tehran's nuclear program.         

Commenting on the Iranian nuclear program on Sunday, Netanyahu said that "international [diplomatic] efforts did not prevent Iran from advancing toward a nuclear bomb, and it may get there sooner than people think."

"The IAEA report includes only the evidence provable at a court of law, but the reality is that there are many more things that we are seeing beyond what the report states," Netanyahu added.

So that was all yesterday's news.  Now today's news has a headline wondering if Israel was somehow behind the explosion that rocked Iran and killed tens of people.

Intel Source: Israel Behind Deadly Explosion at Iran Missile Base

Israeli newspapers on Sunday were thick with innuendo, the front pages of the three largest dailies dominated by variations on the headline "Mysterious Explosion in Iranian Missile Base." Turn the page, and the mystery is answered with a wink. "Who Is Responsible for Attacks on the Iranian Army?" asks Maariv, and the paper lists without further comment a half-dozen other violent setbacks to Iran's nuclear and military nexus. For Israeli readers, the coy implication is that their own government was behind Saturday's massive blast just outside Tehran. It is an assumption a Western intelligence source insists is correct: the Mossad — the Israeli agency charged with covert operations — did it. "Don't believe the Iranians that it was an accident," the official tells TIME, adding that other sabotage is being planned to impede the Iranian ability to develop and deliver a nuclear weapon. "There are more bullets in the magazine," the official says.

The powerful blast or series of blasts — reports described an initial explosion followed by a much larger one — devastated a missile base in the gritty urban sprawl to the west of the Iranian capital. The base housed Shahab missiles, which, at their longest range, can reach Israel. Last week's report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran had experimented with removing the conventional warhead on the Shahab-3 and replacing it with one that would hold a nuclear device. Iran says the explosion was an accident that came while troops were transferring ammunition out of the depot "toward the appropriate site."

One thing that we know for sure is that the rumors keep growing regarding Israel and Iran.  If this above article proves to be true and Israel was behind some explosion that sets back Iran's nuclear program...then that's great!  Maybe Israel can continue sending computer viruses and blowing up sensative locations all in a covert way, then maybe they can avoid the full out military assault that would be so sure to alarm the rest of the world?
