The Times reported today that Iran’s uranium conversion facility in Isfahan was hit by a huge explosion on Monday. The Iranian government has denied that any explosions have occurred in the city.
The Times, basing its report on satellite images of the Isfahan facility seen by its staff, said the images showed “billowing smoke and destruction… (confirming) that a blast that rocked the city of Isfahan on Monday struck the uranium enrichment facility there, despite denials by Tehran.” [The Times, 30 November, reprinted at The Australian, 30 November].
The report of the explosion at Isfahan uranium conversion facility (UCF) came as satellite images emerged of the damage caused by an earlier explosion at IRGC ballistic missile base outside Tehran two weeks ago that killed Gen. Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, the head of the Iranian ballistic missile program, and other IRGC personnel.
On Monday, Isfahan residents reported a blast and seeing a cloud of smoke rising on the edge of the city, where the UCF is situated.
If the reports of the explosion at Isfahan UCF are correct, the Israeli intelligence would be seen as the perpetrator. The Times quotes Dan Meridor, the Israeli Intelligence Minister, as saying, “There are countries who impose economic sanctions and there are countries who act in other ways in dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat.”

Are you guys blowing yourselves up again.
of course nobody in Isfahan heard this explosion. In Persian-blogs and newspapoer where the people in isfahan writing, you can find nothing
but if times reports it, it should be 100% true.
There are some very reliable source at work,
Psy-ops...
Let's hope there is no danger of nuclear radiation in the neighboring area. I wonder if the IAEA is planning to monitor radiation there.
"A second Iranian nuclear facility has exploded, as diplomatic tensions rise between the West and Tehran "
A second? When did the first one explode?
What a nonsense report , why don't they share the satelite imagry if they have it?
If there was a real explosion the IAEA would have reported it , these reports are all hot air .
The Times is a sensationalist news paper , they are not a good news source .
Gents,
There was a very loud noise, even Mr. Ansari, Efahan's general Prosecutor said it so in Fars News. http://www.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=13900907001557
Anon 7:22 AM is correct. If Iranian nuclear facility is damaged it will soon come out since they are under IAEA inspection. It would be part of a report to UN.
Yeah, kids, it really is true......Soon the satellite photographs will pop up in public print.
I see the new ISIS sat images are out now, looks like the lock-step boys have been busy cleaning up another "accident" LTFOL!!!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but your claim is completely false and this article validate my statement.

Once again, you made a fool of yourself. Here's the excerpt from the article I linked above.
ISIS has learned that the buildings at this facility were being demolished prior to November 28, 2011.
So there you have it: There is no such thing as an accident.

As others have said, if the explosion really took place, then the IAEA would immediately notify the UN about it. Remember, the site in question is under constant IAEA surveillance so there is no way for Iran to cover up the incident.
