Massive Explosion at Iran Nuclear Facility

helped this david hackman staff had david packard dot com welcome back to david packaged up a massive explosion has been reported around four dollars nuclear facility the reports were initially just flat-out denied by the iranian news agency i_r_s_ k and uh... than they were i guess she did say independently confirmed i don't i don't really know what the term is here uh... the times of london's israel correspondent shearer frenkel is confirming it through her independent sources saying an explosion is believed to have damaged iraq iran's for down nuclear facility which is being used to enrich uranium israeli intelligence officials have told the times sources in tel aviv said they thought the explosion happened last week they're investigating reports that led to extensive structural damage in two hundred workers being trapped inside so what i hear about the explosion that i hear that arise denying that it even happened i assume one of two things i guess it was probably somewhat more likely that the other one it is the u_s_ or israel bombed it brendan and interest in making it seem like that's not the case or number two their there so incompetently carrying out research that they blew it up themselves but that doesn't seem that likely right uh... highly unlikely if these are the types of explosions and mishaps that you should be happening places like this uh... i soon this is israel's work but and if it is israel's were we have uh... what was the israel statements sources said that they thought the explosion happened last week the israeli government is investigating reports so i think they're not really making official statements about this is this in the time now you think most likely iran will be prevented from having a nuclear weapon that explosions just happen well it's either going to be this or you know crippling economic sanctions the worse than the ones that have already been put in place and a lot of international player pressure making them come to their senses but the reality is if you agree that it's a huge risk to the entire world freer under have nuclear weapons that this is probably the ideal way of doing it militarily in the sense that no one dying uh... other than the people at least at these nuclear research facilities potentially yes in this case did anyone dot i don't know what you can we have joan rivers that were trapped but we don't know yet whether anybody dot rep in any case we can say that if we have these facilities operating far away from cities and where are you know innocent civilians are if the workers are really the only casualties and i think the military a military stamp i'm not saying morally whether it's right or not to do it it's probably the best type of military yes that there's no question that that's the way that the fuse people died the question is what will be the uh... the international reaction i think you know most most countries agree that they don't want iran to have a nuclear weapon right well uh... i mean what's the reaction in a situation like this when iran is trying to deny them explosion even happened bsr their international reaction uh... if this is what keeps happening i think we may just continue on this path for a long time
