Iran explosion: An accident or a reminder?
By Jennifer Rubin October 6 – 4:36 PM
The BBC reports: “A fire and explosion at a military explosives facility near the Iranian capital Tehran has left at least two people dead, reports say. The semi-official Iranian Students News Agency (Isna) said the fire was in an ‘explosive materials production unit.’ … A pro-opposition website reported a huge blast near the Parchin military site, south-east of the capital, but this was not confirmed. … The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has not been given access to the complex since 2005. Analysts say the IAEA suspects Iran of experimenting with explosives capable of triggering a nuclear weapon at Parchin.”
That is right — the West still has had no access to one of Iran’s key enrichment sites yet has now twice extended sanctions relief.
