Large explosion in southern Iran

An unexplained large explosion has been heard in the southern Iranian province of Bushehr.
There is confusion over the cause of the blast, said to have occurred near the town of Daylam on the Gulf coast.

But an interior ministry spokesman told AP news agency that it may have been caused by a "friendly fire" incident.

There have been eyewitness reports saying a missile was fired by a plane in the area, and that a fuel tank dropped from an Iranian plane.

There have also been reports that a fuel tanker caught fire and exploded.

And some residents said they had heard anti-aircraft fire and the sound of fighter aircraft in the region.

The Mehr news agency quoted a source in the governor's office as saying there had been no air attack on the city.

And in the capital Tehran, a Russian embassy official told the BBC that Russian nationals working in the nuclear plant near Bushehr town had reported that everything was normal, and that they had not heard an explosion.

'Mistaken'

The interior ministry spokesman, Jahanbakhsh Khanjani, told AP: "An airplane flew over Daylam today. Minutes later, there was an explosion.

"But we have no reason to say it's a hostile attack. There is a big possibility that it was a friendly fire by mistake.

"Several such mistaken friendly fire incidents have been reported there in recent days."

Tensions between the US and Iran are running high over what the Americans say is Tehran's attempts to build a nuclear bomb.

Iran says its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful.

Russia has completed construction work at the Bushehr reactor, but it is not yet operational.

I'm scared. Somebody hold me.

us did not attak iran it was some thing that the irani exploded.

Iran Military Confirms Explosion Was Building Work

5 minutes ago Top Stories - Reuters

TEHRAN (Reuters) - An explosion in south Iran, initially reported as caused by a missile, was blasting work during the construction of a dam, a senior military officer confirmed to state television on Wednesday.


"What happened was only a natural part of building work. These were heavy blasts carried out for the construction of the dam," said Ali Reza Afshar, deputy to the chief of staff of the armed forces.

Yahoo

knew it was bullshit..

if the US would have attacked iran with 1 airplane that would have been lame lol

It wasn't a missile. I was flying my Chesna and dropped a can of baked beans. Sorry guys. No need to panic.

please.

this is SUCH BULLSHIT

no witnesses saw a missile fired 12 miles away

gimme a break

:1orglaugh

they must have some long range vision.

US wont fire on Iran but Isreal will. They have before

I guess Iran won't be able to finish their nuclear program. :)

Spending more on military doesn't necessarily equal more powerful. Especially when you examine where that spending goes to.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Now I see how it happened...

I hope US attacks Iran today.

I say go for it. Might as well finish the job over there.

Invading Iran would be the downfall of the American empire. I don't even think many neo conservatives are that stupid.

lmfao, good point GI Joe.

America does not have an empire...but only by choice. In addition Iran is an insignificant country and can and will be squashed like an insect if the US chooses to do so.

Here we go again

That's the stupidest comment you've ever made, and everyone here knows how many stupid comments you make. How can you possibly say America doesn't have an empire? I knew you were fucked in the head, I didn't know you were completely ignorant. How many countries does the USA have troops in? How many countries do they control, through installing friendly dictators who do Americas bidding?

You're walking around blind without a cane, old man. Try reading a book or two in your lifetime.

Having a troops stationed in a country does not an empire make. Hmm...maybe you can educate us unread and provide a list of countries that are included in the US empire.

Richy boy...I am still waiting for the list of countries that are part of the US empire.

remember that quote...

this will be the proof of your idiocy in a few years

One time...which was not the first time...he proved his idiocy...was when President Bush was re-elected.

Hmm...having a hard time composing the list of countries that number in the US empire...Richy boy?

No no I disagree, that was very stupid, but there has been comments far more stupid than this

Hmm...maybe you can compose Richy boys list of countries that number in the US empire...since he seems to be having trouble doing so.

Fuck you're stupid, Pathfinder. You think I'm going to waste my time explaining things to you? Good luck.

I wish you American idiots would stop watching TV for ten minutes and learn what your country actually does in this world. Then maybe it wouldn't be so hard for you to understand why people dislike you, and it's not because they're "jealous" or "anti-American", which are the only two explanations most of you TV babies can come up with. Do some research for yourself if you're interested in which countries American controls. Diego Garcia isn't a fat rock star from the 60's, you uneducated fool.

learn history

that's soooo funny - I'll sue you now for my stomack cramp :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

You are amusing Richy boy. You are about as dumb as the Rock you speak of being part of the US empire. FYI...Diago Garcia is a British dependency...and is used by the Brits and US as a military forward positioninbg base...primiraly for refueling and support supplies. It is not even 20 square miles in size.

You will not compose a list of countries that number in US empire...because you cannot...and the one place you do mention...as being a part of the US empire...is a fucking rock in the ocean. Fucking pathetic. You continuosly spew forth your mis-information about the affairs of the United States...in your blind hatred and obession with the the United States. What you and the likes of you...Webby...Directfiesta...and a few others...have to say about the USA is of zero import...as 99% of what all of you say is pig shit.

BTW...you squat to piss don't you Richy boy?

lol, took long enough for you to find that information from google. Actually the USA forcibly removed every citizen from Diego Garcia, not that they'd ever tell you that on the conditioning they tell you is news. I used that example because of the joke, which was in fact, quite funny. If you can't figure out in which countries the United States has an unwanted military presence, or controls through a friendly dictator they installed, that's your problem. Once again, I'm not here to educate you Pathfinder, I'm here to laugh at you.

Saying America isn't an empire is a statement so ridiculous it doesn't merit a discussion. Why do you think America at least attempts to over-through any elected leader who doesn't conform to their policies? Hugo Chavez and Jean-Bertrand Aristide are the two most recent examples, but there are many many more. This isn't Bush bashing, this is Wilsonian idealism and has been US policy for the better part of this century. It's not hard to understand these things once you remove from your head your childlike adoration for your country, and instant defense of any crimes it commits.

Seriously, it's unfortunate that your age has not brought you wisdom. You calling me blind, priceless.


lol, man I'm funny. Sad that such brilliance is wasted on a mindless drone.

More pig shit from the peanut gallery. As previously stated...your are as dumb as the rock that you claim is part of the US empire. FYI...I have been to Diego Garcia...no need for me to google. You are dismissed now Richy boy. BTW...you failed to answer the question...but no need to...it was a rhetorical question anyhow.

Yeps...dumb as a fucking rock.

First Iraq and now Iran? :(
