Unconfirmed Reports of Major Sabotage Attack on Iran’s Fordow Facility
Acting Israeli DM Cheers Reports: Says Any Iran Explosion Is 'Good News'
Unconfirmed reports floating around multiple outlets have a major sabotage bombing taking place at Iran’s Fordow enrichment facility, the underground uranium enrichment site outside of Qom.
The stories say that the bombing happened Monday morning, and incredibly hasn’t been even touched on by any more reputable outlets, let alone the Iranian press, nearly a week later. 240 workers are said to be trapped, and Iran reportedly closed several roads, including the bridge between Qom and Tehran. None of these reports are confirmed either.
Despite the purely speculative nature of the reports, former Shin Bet chief Avi Dichter, who is Acting Israeli Defense Minister while Ehud Barak is overseas, cheered the reports, saying any explosions inside Iran would be “good news.”
Though US and Israeli saboteurs have repeatedly targeted the nation’s civilian nuclear program, this would be by far the single largest attack, and it is hard to imagine that such an incident, particularly timed ahead of planned P5+1 talks with Iran, would be kept secret for so long.

Obviously it still needs to be verified as actually having happened, but if so: imagine the US media if this was a sabotage attack on US soil –
(1) Wolf Blitzerbergstein would be going "Full Spectrum Dershowitz" (along with Bill Kristolbergstein and Charles Krauthammerbergstein);
(2) it would be declared an act of both terror and war; and
(3) the missiles would already be flying at anybody the US already decided it wanted to attack.
Although we should not expect anything less than complete hypocrisy from the political parasite class and their camp-followers, it annoys me in the extreme that folks don't see that we 'enlightened' folks can't fund and furnish guidance to folks who want to violently overthrow their own government, then bleat about how it's not cricket when someone else does it to us. (I say this as one who wants ALL governments overthrown, everywhere… by violence if that's what's needed to get the job done).

Actually, I would love to hear of any reports of explosions in Israel: big mushroomy type explosions.

Dudes! This is a crap report from CIA-tagged "serial fabricator" Reza Kahlili in World Net Daily. This guy makes up nonsense all the time!
Are you taking this seriously? Even Richard Silverstein apparently fell for this one, citing an "Israeli source", which probably means it's more Israeli propaganda fed through Kahlili.

The story was too vague for me to even pay much attention to it. My retort stands, however.

Don't go, Mr. Obama … no American politician who travels to Israel comes back unchanged – and not in any good way. Whatever their politics before the trip, when they return, all are in Israel's pocket.
