Iranian Nuke Scientist: Weekend Quake was a Nuclear Test
by Hillel Fendelif

A weekend 5.0 Richter earthquake in Iran was actually a nuclear bomb
test, says an Iranian nuclear scientist claiming to be working on the
project.The report is an Israel Insider exclusive.
This
past Saturday night, southern Iran experienced what was reported as a
significant earthquake - a seismic event measuring 5.0 on the Richter
scale. Its epicenter was just north of the strategic Straits of Hormuz,
which separates Iran from Abu Dhabi and Oman and which is the gateway
to the Persian Gulf. The
report quotes an Iranian nuclear scientist who claims to be working in
uranium enrichment for the project, and who said that the "quake" was
acutally an undergound nuclear bomb test. Israel Insider
adds that the test/quake was actually the second in a series. Nine days
ago, a 4.8 Richter scale event occurred, with its epicenter only five
kilometers away from the weekend tremor.
The Israel
Insider source reports that two nuclear rockets are currently ready -
and are intended for use against Israel in the coming months.If
the report is correct, it would belie previous speculation that Iran
would not begin nuclear testing until it had more nuclear-bomb
production capability.

The geographical location of the
test has several advantages. It is exposed to significant seismic
activity, which could serve to mask nuclear tests; it is believed to be
close to Iran's nuclear development facility; delivery and transport of
material and personnel can be effected easily through the Hormuz
Strait; and Iranian enemies would hesitate to bomb the area because
that would threaten the flow of a substantial percentage of the world's
oil.Reuters reports Thursday morning that Iran has begun
building a line of naval bases along its southern coast and up to the
Straits of Hormuz.
