The explosion was originally reported as a gas station explosion. Eyes are now watching to see if this event could have anything to do with the IAEA's report on Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions.

It seems like maybe Israel/US have sent some special forces to steer up some violance in Iran, With an explosion in a Military base and in a Natural Gas pipe line (Swedish news) Maybe something is to happend in a matter of days or maybe hours?
Or, maybe the Iranian military just screwed up and had an accident at one of their weapons depots.

Oh come on now...how could the simplest and most logical explanation possibly be what really happened?
It is far more likely, IMO (as people always like to add when they are talking through openings not designed for speech), that Vampire Bunnies from the planet Hoppy were running a False Flag operation, to distract us as they suck the innards out of the entire United State's egg supply, to create a financial crisis at the International House of Pancakes leading to it having to declare Chapter 11, which will lead to the collapse of the Bank of America, which in turn will crash worldwide stock markets, which will lead to OWS taking up arms around the globe and overthrowing all Goverments on the planet...which will royally peeve off the shape-shifting lizard people, and they will cause a CME to be aimed directly at the Earth and turn it into something akin to dried toast.
Oh, wait that's just silly. More probably, the CIA did it at the behest of the Mossad and the Bilderbergs, Saudis, Russians and Vampire Harp Seals.
The Iranians simply screwed up and had a munitions accident? Please...stop wasting our time with such crazy assertions.

other than your insults do you have any basis for you thought that this was an accident, that cause only two very large explosions, and first reported as a gas station?
Twenty-seven soldiers have been killed in an explosion at a military base near Iran's capital Tehran, officials say.
The blast occurred when weapons were being moved inside a Revolutionary Guards depot, a spokesman for the elite unit told state TV.

There are "stirrings" and rumors that some (or many) of the earthquakes around the world in the last decade or so have been synthetic. It is as if there are factions around, over and under the world fighting a HIDDEN war, employing weather and earthquakes to further their agendas. And, the average person --no matter where in the world-- is like a cow in a field, almost completely oblivious to the fighting going on in the next field or in the sky above. There is something going on and it has been manifested in ways that we attribute to natural phenomena.

Three possibilities
a) Genuine accident
b) Action by Israel/West
b) Action by Iran themselves as false flag
But interesting that the BBC report included (imo unnecessary) mention of the recent ramping up of war talk.
The suggestion imo being that the accident was no accident and is linked to the latter.edit on 12-11-2011 by starchild10 because: (no reason given)
REPORTING FROM TEHRAN and CAIRO -– An explosion Saturday at a base for Iran’s elite Republican Guard killed at least 27 soldiers and shook buildings west of Tehran, according to authorities, who downplayed any hint of international sabotage aimed at Iran’s nuclear program. The soldiers were transporting ammunition at a base near Bidgeneh village, about 30 miles outside the capital, when an "explosion occurred as a result of an accident,” Guard spokesman Gen. Ramazan Sharif said. Iranian media reported that 16 people were injured. Parviz Sorouri, a member of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy committee, told a government website: “No sabotage was involved in this incident. It has nothing to do with politics.”

Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, the Iranian president, has proposed a budget estimated at $368bn for 2011, with a promise that spending will focus on agriculture, education and research.
It is unclear how much of this budget will go on tackling the nation's rising drug problem, though opium continues to pour into the country from neighbouring Afghanistan.
In the last 10 months, Al Jazeera correspondent Alireza Ronaghi reports that police have seized over 400 tonnes of drugs and have lost dozens of police officers in the attempt to eradicate drug abuse in the Iranian capital, Tehran.

Are you for real? gee, I wonder why Israel and the US comes to mind when assassinations happen in Iran... Maybe because they carry out assassinations ALL THE TIME? You do know that Israel assassinated scientists involved in similar Iraqi programs, right? One victim was even a Canadian scientist.

But no, it must be some other country involved. Let's just ignore the elephant in the room, right?

I think you are really grasping at straws if you're trying to convince me that it's not the obvious perpetrators who have done this before as a matter of their jingoist foreign policy. Hell, by your logic, maybe it was the Iranians who are bombing themselves. I mean, it seems illogical but so are making misdirecting claims contrary to evidence and history.

And of course, you're way off the mark with your examples too. I haven't seen Iran banging war drums even remotely at the same intensity as what I've seen from Israel and the US, and they have been following international law.
Originally posted by Dimitri Dzengalshlevi
Countries who have no regard for international law have no basis to accuse Iran of anything.
Originally posted by Dimitri Dzengalshlevi
I'm sorry, I must have missed that. Where has Iran twisted American claims around and used it as pretext to commit a war of aggression? Do you have clear examples, or more conjecture?
Originally posted by Dimitri Dzengalshlevi
I am seriously disturbed by how some people in the world, specifically Americans and Israelis, view countries committing to international law as being "aggressive" while they scream for war because they think it is up to them to dictate international order, not the international community. I must admit that I am surprised by the common view of UK citizens who realize what an elitist farce this all is, dispite their nation's commitment.edit on 12-11-2011 by Dimitri Dzengalshlevi because: (no reason given)
"The blast happened during the transportation of ammunition," Head of the IRGC's Public Relations Office General Ramadan Sharif said on Saturday.
The General also announced that "15 people have been martyred and some others have been injured in the incident".
He did not mention the exact number of the wounded, but said some were in critical condition.
Sharif added that a team of military experts are investigating the incident.
Earlier reports said that the blast took place in the cache of ammunitions at the IRGC military base in the village of Bidgoneh, in the vicinity of Malard in the Northern Alborz province 40km to the West of the capital, Tehran.
when you watch this video make sure you catch the part where hilary clinton says "we are losing the media WAR". if you ever thought that the govenment didnt take the free flow of information and ideas accross the internet seriously then you really are just a dreamer (no offence intended).
for many years peopel were very carefully "pitched" ideas as news to direct public sentiment. this was for the benifit of the policy makers and the current political structure.
some would say that the skew of information was a form of propoganda, others beleived that no one controlled the media as there were too many MSM sources.
there is a "national security notice" that can be issued to MSM to prevent stories from being reported on and in some cases only the official line was allowed. while i understand the need for ligitamite stories,
the beating of war drums and the fear incited to justify aggresive wars beccause of public opinion.
iran is a good example because the MSM narritive has been for nearly 30 years "iran only months away from nukes"
but the problem is the same news line has been repeated for nearly 30 years.
in the age of the internet and alternative news and free flow of information, the "control" of how a story is portrayed is in the hands of ordinary people without the national security problems of larger MSM news outlets.
this makes shaping public opinon for war much more difficult because people can get information from sources other than the "official line from MSM"
this means to control public opinion towards the goals of war that the MSM news can no longer be used to instill fear and propoganda to control the narritive,
this means that people read what they want and make up there own mind, and this makes the people less likley to be fooled by the drum beat of war.
does anyone hear think that the loss of control of the narritive is going to be accepted by those who seek control and WAR?
