It looks like someone read my report on Iranian nuclear weapons
program, and took action.
Please go back and look at my (pre-bombing) reports.
On 10/04/2011, I Notified the U.S. State Department of this:
-------- Original Message --------
I reported this to the IAEA on October 4, 2011 (see above)
Then to the U.S. Security Council on 11/12/2011
and the Israelis on 11/21/2011,
Then on 11/25/2011 I posted it my my TSCM-L Mailing list.
Then on 11/28/2011 "someone" bombs the hell out of the facility
Then on 11/30/2011 the Iranians deny explosions, and deny a bombing,
and the next day confess to a minor problem.
Lots of coincidences, and interesting timelines.

A second Iranian nuclear facility has exploded, as diplomatic tensions
rise between the West and Tehran
BY: SHEERA FRENKEL
From: The Times November 30, 2011 11:00AM
AN IRANIAN nuclear facility has been hit by a huge explosion, the
second such blast in a month, prompting speculation that Tehran's
military and atomic sites are under attack.
Satellite imagery seen by The Times confirmed that a blast that rocked
the city of Isfahan on Monday struck the uranium enrichment facility
there, despite denials by Tehran.
The images clearly showed billowing smoke and destruction, negating
Iranian claims yesterday that no such explosion had taken place.
Israeli intelligence officials told The Times that there was "no doubt"
that the blast struck the nuclear facilities at Isfahan and that it was
"no accident".
The explosion at Iran's third-largest city came as satellite images
emerged of the damage caused by one at a military base outside Tehran
two weeks ago that killed about 30 members of the Revolutionary Guard,
including General Hassan Moghaddam, the head of the Iranian missile
defence program.
Iran condemned over embassy storming
Iran claimed that the Tehran explosion occurred during testing on a new
weapons system designed to strike at Israel. But several Israeli
officials have confirmed that the blast was intentional and part of an
effort to target Iran's nuclear weapons program.
On Monday, Isfahan residents reported a blast that shook tower blocks
in the city at about 2.40pm and seeing a cloud of smoke rising over the
nuclear facility on the edge of the city.
"This caused damage to the facilities in Isfahan, particularly to the
elements we believe were involved in storage of raw materials," said
one military intelligence source.
He would not confirm or deny Israel's involvement in the blast, instead
saying that there were "many different parties looking to sabotage,
stop or coerce Iran into stopping its nuclear weapons program".
Iran went into frantic denial yesterday as news of the explosion at
Isfahan emerged. Alireza Zaker-Isfahani, the city's governor, claimed
that the blast had been caused by a military exercise in the area but
state-owned agencies in Tehran soon removed this story and issued a
government denial that any explosion had taken place at all.
On Monday, Dan Meridor. the Israeli Intelligence Minister, said: "There
are countries who impose economic sanctions and there are countries who
act in other ways in dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat."
Major-General Giora Eiland, Israel's former director of national
security, told Israel's army radio that the Isfahan blast was no
accident. "There aren't many coincidences, and when there are so many
events there is probably some sort of guiding hand, though perhaps it's
the hand of God," he said.
A former Israeli intelligence official cited at least two other
explosions that have "successfully neutralized" Iranian bases
associated with the Shahab-3, the medium-range missile that could be
adapted to carry a nuclear warhead. "This is something everyone in the
West wanted to see happen," he added.
Iran has repeatedly denied the existence of a nuclear weapons program,
and strongly condemned the International Atomic Energy Agency's report
last month that accused Iran of trying to build a nuclear weapon.
