SHORT THREAD

1)
A senior MP in #Iran said today that the July 2 Natanz explosion was a "security breach."
en.radiofarda.com/a/key-lawmaker…
Tehran has since the explosion gone the distance through its apologists (both in English & Farsi) to say the explosion was anything but an airstrike.
2)
When sabotage bombing didn't convince, Iran’s state media even went the distance in claiming the explosion at Natanz was a “deliberate attack” to thus claim “an airstrike is nearly impossible.”
3)
While Iran is flatly denying any airstrikes, the possibility of using armed drones for such a surgical attack is not unlikely.

On August 25, 2014, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that the IRGC shot down an Israeli Elbit Hermes 450 spy drone near Natanz.
4)
For me, this is looking more like a precision airstrike by Israel with U.S. support & maybe even U.S. allies in the region. Remember Iran first claimed the building was nothing but a shed & now we know it was probably the regime’s most advanced centrifuge assembly lab.
5)
The case was so important for Iran that it immediately announced after the explosion that the case would be handled by the National Security Council, not the Atomic Energy Org.

Why the National Security Council?

And why did Iran photoshop this image?
6)
Why did Iran's state media photoshop that image?

To prevent any indication of the roof & the other side of the building being blown off in the explosion(s) & more importantly, be humiliated.

Could there have been two explosions?

Time will tell.
7)
For those interested, my thread sheds more light on the explosion(s) in Iran’s Natanz nuclear site and why I believe this was an airstrike.

The more we learn, the more I believe Iran is desperate to hide the truth about what really happened in Natanz.
