‘Bombing Squad’ Penetrated Iran’s Isfahan; Explosion Wrecked Nuke Site

Western intelligence agencies have determined that Iran sustained a huge blow when a leading nuclear facility was bombed on Nov. 28.

Western intelligence sources said Iran’s uranium enrichment facility at Isfahan was severely damaged by an explosion. They said the explosion was
believed to have destroyed Isfahan’s large conversion center as well as stored uranium.

This has struck terror in the hearts of Iranian nuclear chiefs,” an intelligence source said.

The sources said the explosion was the work of a “sophisticated bombing squad” that penetrated Isfahan’s formidable defenses. Citing analysis of Western satellite imagery, they said the explosion rocked Iran’s largest city with smoke and debris.

This marked the second explosion at a major Iranian weapons facility in less than a month, Middle East Newsline reported. On Nov. 12, a base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was destroyed in a mysterious explosion, which also killed the head of the nation’s ballistic missile program, Maj. Gen. Hassan Moghaddam. The sources said the explosion was the result of a bombing rather than an accident as IRGC claimed.
