BREAKING/EXPANDED NEWS -EXPLOSIONS IN IRAN

Tuesday/Wednesday, November 13/14 - about 4 a.m. Sources inside and outside Iran. A series of explosions rocked the Parchin Military Site (where missiles, including "cruise" type missiles, are manufactured) at Varamin south of Tehran. The Shahab 3, 4 and more recently Shahab 5 solid fuel missiles at the site are hidden in old salt mines in the mountain face in the area, further excavated and furbished for development and manufacture. The main purpose of this Ministry of Defense site, established by the late Shah's father - Reza Shah Kabir - in the early 1900's and taken over by the IRGC, had been and has been to manufacture ammunition, chemical explosives and more recently short range rocket missiles. The exacavated salt mines for longer range missile technology have been expanded by the Mullah regime. More than likely, the explosives, IED's, rockets and similar items of Iranian manufacture showing up in Iraq and Afghanistan were largely produced at Parchin. The explosion will certainly put a dent in the Islamic Regime's capability to continue providing these in the same quantities as before and speculation has either Coalition Special Forces doing what they do best and/or MEK (Mojaheddin-e Khalgh) involvement. The latter in an effort to be removed from the USA Terrorist Organization list. The reported "slowdown" within Iraq of the arrival of Islamic Iran's weapons may indicate that available supplies had dwindled inside Iran and the IRGC/Ghods Brigade leadership had just manufactured a new supply - which went up in several big booms. As a result, about 100 "military" personnel ( IRGC - Islamic Revolutionary Guards paramilitary) of the site were injured. The explosions reportedly started when a missile, which was being moved, exploded and set off chain reactions in various external sections of the Site. Not in the mountain tunnels. When shrapnel of the explosion hit other sections, more than half a dozen other warehouses located in the vicinity of each other were engulfed in flames and their contents also detonated. The final area of the explosion reportedly had a radius of one kilometer. The fire, which began at 3:00 a.m. and was put out many hours later, was so extensive that fire fighters from seven fire stations rushed to the scene. While the names of the 100 or so injured and killed were not released, reports say four of the injured were: Mostafa Nourizadeh, Alireza Verdi-lou, Nasser Rezai, and Morteza Motahari. The Mullah regime has so far succeeded in preventing the news of the incident leaking and claims that it was a "normal" fire. A memorandum to its staff and other relevant organs, inisted that since the area is of a military nature, no information should leak. Or else! The regime closed off Khavaran Road in that locality, established a crisis headquarters to deal with the situation and evacuated two nearby population centers of Do Hezar Vahedi (two thousand units) and Ghaen. Parchin, located some 40 kilometers south of Tehran, is a sprawling 60 square kilometer site. Defense related centers and industries located in Parchin belong to the Ministry of Defense (The Defense Industries Organization, Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization, and Institution for Research and Training of the Defense Industries.) The huge site is organized into 11 different projects for production of various weapons and munitions. Projects 4 and 11 are devoted to production of cruise type missiles; projects 1, 2 and 8 are devoted to chemical weapons production. In addition to cruise missiles, other types of missiles, including Oghab (Eagle), Nazeat missiles, air to air missiles and solid fuel for missiles are manufactured in Parchin's missile complex. Parts of the Parchin site are devoted to conducting research on uranium enrichment using laser technology. Unless you support the Mullah regime in Iran, poke a finger into the regime's eye and propagate the news they so desperately want to hide. BACKGROUND ON: PARCHIN - Click Here
