| Kaboom at Isfahan: IRG work accident |
| 2011-11-28 |
| A explosion rocked the western Iranian city of Isfahan on Monday, the semi-official Fars news agency reported, adding that the blast was heard in several parts of the city. The Revolutionary Guard said the accidental explosion occurred while military personnel were transporting munitions. The deputy governor of Iran's Isfahan province on Monday said however he had no reports of an explosion in his region. "So far no report of a major explosion has been heard from any government body in Isfahan," he was quoted as saying by the semi-official Mehr news agency. It should be noted that Iran operates a uranium conversion plant near Isfahan, one with an important function in the chain of Iran's nuclear program. Earlier Monday, a top Israeli security official said that the recent explosion that rocked an Iranian missile base near Tehran could delay or stop further Iranian surface-to-surface missile development. |

| #13 There are so many ways to foul up a supply chain without anyone knowing it. Just one little invisible daub of a catalyst in the right place. A flea sized detonator. Then add just a smooch of STUXNET and shake very, very vigorously. |

| #10 but there's likely a lot of pressure on the IRGC to achieve a 'milestone' Like producing a big explosion somewhere. "Objective Fulfilled". Unfortunately no one told them that it was to be somewhere other than in Iran. |

| #9 Perhaps not panicking, but there's likely a lot of pressure on the IRGC to achieve a 'milestone'. |
