WH Fails To Get Word of Iran Explosion - Multiple Sources Confirm Disaster, But Carney Has 'No Information'

WND

WND’s exclusive report by Reza Kahlili, a former CIIA agent in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, that a key Iranian nuclear facility was devastated by an explosion last week was confirmed by Israeli intelligence officials speaking to the Times of London.

Then Tel Aviv sources for The Australian did the same thing, and the Missing Peace organization in the United Kingdom, citing the word of Dr. Ali Reza Nourizadah of the Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies in London, even had a few details.

“Nourizadeh, who is a commentator for Deutsche Welle and the Voice of America [and] has an extensive network of contacts in Iran, told us that the explosion has caused relative (sic) little damage to the uranium enrichment facility itself, but that the blast has blocked the entrance to Fordow. He confirmed that more than 200 personnel are trapped in the plant…”

White House sources, however, on happenings in Iran aren’t quite as good.

“We have no information to confirm the allegations in that report, and we do not believe the report is credible,” press secretary Jay Carney said during his White House news briefing today.

He had been asked, “There were weekend reports of a very significant explosion at a nuclear facility in Iran – Fordow; Fordow is the name of it, near Qom. And I wonder if you have anything that you can relay to us about what the U.S. government does or does not know about that.”

Press about information about “an explosion of any kind?” Carney repeated himself.

“Correct, at the Fordow facility. We don’t believe those are credible reports. We have no information that would confirm them and do not believe that those reports or that report is credible.”

The Missing Peace report said Nourizadeh confirmed that “since the blast the city of Qom, where Fordow is located, has been encircled by forces of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. He also reported that today the regime arrested between eight and twelve Iranian journalists who where accused of collaborating with foreign media. Nourizadeh said that local journalists have been responsible for leaking information about the incident in Fordow. Their computers and other equipment has been confiscated.”
