It seems somebody bombed Iran’s electrical lines that supplied their nuclear enrichment plant. When power to loaded centrifuges is lost, they begin to slow down, lose balance and essentially self destruct, often rupturing in the process and releasing radioactive gasses into the facility. :eek:

I predicted it. It’s gloating, I suppose, but I’ve long wondered aloud why anybody would consider a conventional war against Iran to stop their nuke program when all that has to be done is to literally pull the plug. Journalist who wrote the story doesn’t seem to have asked or perhaps been able to find out if the attackers took out the backup power supply as well. Here’s my previous thoughts on it. I guess the Mossad liked my idea. I’m sure they’re regular CAF readers… 😉 Here’s my previous thoughts on it.

In all sincerity, this is concerning, but is probably the smartest way to do a hard strike. Don’t admit to it, just do what has to be done. Precisely the way Iran conducts its own foreign policy. What goes around comes around, eh Mr. Ahmadinejad?

Dear unfaithful brother,
I think that you posting such silly ideas does not do any good among civilized people. I would like to invite you out for coffee and discuss with you a way to reach a peaceful level of discussion. Please give me your complete name and address in this way I can contact you.
Regards,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
 
Could be an attack from US or Israeli forces. But it might not be.

I’m sure they have backup generators, and I’m sure the US and Israel know that. I wouldn’t put it past Iran to claim that they are being attacked in order to try to persuade the rest of the world that Israel/US is war mongering. This stirs up the anti Israel folks in the US to condemn support and persuade an already anti-Israel Obama to stop cooperating with them.

Just throwing this out there. Obviously there’s no evidence that points either way because those involved will try to make sure there is none.

Yes, but backup generators are not magical electric fairies either. You can bury a packup genset deep underground, but it still requires intake air and a means of expelling exhaust. If you’ve got guys in the vicinity equipped to make things go BOOM, then you must find the weak spot for generator operation and hit it at the same time as the primary electric. News article doesn’t yet say, but if I can realize it, you can bet the special forces guys do too…

And the exhaust “pipe” would be a very attractive way for a bomb to take out the whole complex (or a major part of it).

They are, if you’ll pardon the expression, shafted.🙂
 
I wouldn’t go that far. All you need to do is put some bends in the exhaust pipe geometry near the surface to prevent penetration of a missle or precision bomb down the shaft. But cutting off air supply to the generators or their exhaust route WILL shut them down, if not physically destroy them. But as mentioned above, cutting power to a loaded and spinning centerfuge is as effective as blowing it up.

Who would you rather live under, the radicals of Iran or the radicals of American liberalism?
I would rather live under the radicals of Iran.🤷

That’s partially why I am not so quick to believe Iran. If the US or Israel was to go through the trouble of assembling a team to infiltrate Iran and blow up the power supply to the plant, then why ignore the backup generators? I’m pretty sure the generators were untouched, because Iran would certainly have complained about that too if they were sabotaged as well.
