Seems like another of their factories had a slight issue.

I know of a certain middle eastern government that's kept it's enemies from having nukes for decades. I wonder if they have developed an aircraft with stealth capabilities.

We can only hope.

They have an benefactor that does! We already know there are assets on the ground, that caused the Sux virus to be installed.

Sure is a small factory. Looks more like an elementary school that had a gas explosion in the kitchen.

That's only a small part of it. The main place where the centrifuges are is all underground (but can still be disabled by other means). From what I have read in various places, what was destroyed was the part of the plant where they balance the centrifuges before use and if they can't be balanced they are worthless in producing enriched uranium.

A bad week? Or a GOOD week for everyone else?

Hopefully their "scientists" will manage to blow themselves up and save the rest of us the trouble. Same with Short Round's experts in NorKo.

Maybe Obama can convince Trump to send them a few billion more of our tax $$ to help out.
