Israeli satellite images are emerging on the site in Tehran which earlier this week was reported to have had an explosion. Iran reported it was Research and Self-Sufficiency site operated by the Revolutionary Guard Corps. Two were reported killed in the blast.
What happened isn’t clear, though as usual it was seen as possibly another Israeli sabotage attack. On top of that, media reports are spinning the site as being a possible “missile factory.”
This accusation is based on the Treasury Department saying in 2017 that the research and self-sufficency organization was researching missiles. It isn’t clear how big this organization is, or how many sites they have. Iran was keen to become less reliant on military imports.
Israeli sabotage of a site that could be spun as maybe something is in keeping with their policy in Iran in recent years, which has been to carry out provocative actions attacking Iran, trying to provoke a retaliation that could be used to escalate into a bigger confrontation, and one that they might be able to drag the US into.
That narrative works a lot better for Israel if the site is something to do with missiles than if it’s just some random industrial research site. Iran hasn’t directly blamed Israel for the matter so far, which might preclude any sort of escalation.
In that regard, Israel’s policy of not commenting on its attacks might be counterproductive, as they can’t provoke retaliation if no one knows they were responsible.
Israel is pretty free and easy with terrorism.
Haman must be stopped by any means necessary.
By state sponsored terrorism. You just said so.
I said “Haman must be stopped. Read English, not Farsi, and don’t put words in my mouth.Taking a gun out out of the hands of a psychotic drunk is not terrorism,it is prudence.
And you weren’t using “Haman” as a metaphor? Brockland said Israel is free and easy with terrorism and you said “any means possible”. I didn’t put words in your mouth.
Haman refers to the historic Persian figure, who planed to exterminate Jews. If you were cornered by a giant, I would not expect you to abide my the Marquis of Queensberry rules in order to survive.
Irreverent…! This is like saying Hitler killed a lot of jews and now Germany wants to do the same…! Ridiculous…!
It is Israeli media that recites the site as missile factory as propaganda…! Everyone knows Iran Missile production takes place underground…!
