Interestingly enough, Iran denies it was any kind of sabotage. Just an accident. If you cannot trust Iran, who can you trust? :coffeeread:

I’d be willing to take Iran’s word that it was just an accident or, at least, they believe it was an accident. If Ahmadinejad believed that Israel was responsible then he’d be screeching about it.

That might be one possible reaction. Another possibility is that the Iranian government is embarrassed by this attack, if that is what happened.

It not only took place at a Revolutionary Guard base, but it killed an important leader in Iran’s missile forces. The level of planning and penetration required to pull off such an attack would open to question whether the Iranian government can protect its key personnel. And such an attack would suggest subversion within the Revolutionary Guard, which would also be both embarrassing and unsettling for the government.

So its possible that the Iranian government wants to cover up the sabotage, if that is what happened.

That seems to be what happened when Israel took out Syria’s nuclear plant

as is so often the case, a full accounting eludes us.
 
The timing of the “accident” seems suspicious…just saying. This explosion looks like the work of the Mossad. This would be the 5th or 6th similar accident on top of perhaps the 10th significant military aircraft crash, one of which killed about 12 top ranking IRGC officers.
