    Well THERE goes the neighbourhood. Anyone check which way the wind is blowing ???
    Crap 🙁
    Was that a semi-official explosion? Was that a picture of it? Good thing Fars had their camera-guy in place if it is.

    And now (later) good thing they put it out. Seems to have been withdrawn – see next report.
    Wonder if editor is still alive …

      Which is what the ‘atomic energy commission’ is afraid of … but can’t get in to check on the safety of.
      After Chernobyl, no-one wants a repeat or something worse.
      Will be interesting to hear their sad tale of what happened, but we can’t expect truth.
      And they eliminated most of the experts seems to me.
      Iran … a world unto itself, repeating all of histories past mistakes because they ‘don’t need’ the rest of the world.
