** What’s going on in Iran??? **
Three massive explosions went off in the Khuzestan region of Iran today where the regime is planning on hanging 7 political prisoners in the coming hours. There was also a massive blast in central Iran that was witnessed by people in several cities!
The Bawi Brothers– Asad, Mohsen, and Amad are among those prisoners sentenced to death in the Khuzestan region of Iran. Three other brothers from this prominent Ahwazi family are jailed in an Iranian prison on trumped up terrorism charges.
But, the brothers will be spared this weekend, anyway.
Ahwaz.org reports: The names of the seven men at imminent risk of execution are reported as Ghasem Salami, Mohammad Lazem Kaabpour, Abdolamir Farjolah Kaab, Alireza Asakereh, Majad Albughbish, Abdolreza Sanawati, and Khalaf Dohrab Khanafereh.
Last month the Iranian Regime hung three men in this region including the father of the “worlds youngest political prisoner“:
Ali Matouri Zadeh, 30, was forced to confess to heading an insurgent group after months of torture and threats to the lives of his wife and baby daughter who was born in prison, and who were also imprisoned by the regime. He was forced to confess that he belonged to “a little-known militant group that has supposedly resurfaced more than 20 years after it vanished during the Iran-Iraq War.”
** Ahwaz.org has video of the taped confessions.
So, you get the picture that this is one of the restive areas of Iran and the people there are persecuted… But, as far as the blasts this morning- there is no indication that the explosions were caused by anything other than the “mining operations” reported by the regime.
The official Fars News Agency reported that three explosions went off earlier today in the Khuzestan Region. The regime reported that the blasts were due to mine sweeping operations in the area:
Khorramshahr Governor Mohammad Ali Shirali told FNA that the three explosions this morning were caused by a landmine diffusion operation in a field in the vicinity of Khorramshahr.
The official further stressed that the giant blasts were caused due to the great pile of defused mines gathered in the field at the time of explosion.
It is now 2 years that landmine diffusion units of the Islamic Republic army defused and cleaned the field in Shalamcheh, nearby Khorramshahr in southwestern Iran, and more than 60 explosions have so far rocked the city of Khorramshahr in the said period.
The blasts were large enough that a “panicked crowd” ran out into the streets:
Three giant explosions scared many people to death in the southwestern city of Khorramshahr in Khuzestan province Thursday morning.
The panicked crowd poured to the streets after three blasts at 11:50, 11:51 and 11:52 hours local time rocked the port city.
The explanation from the regime sounds possible…
However… this “gigantic blast” that was reported in central Iran is a different story!
The Jawa Report has this:
From GM a Christian originally from Persia:
Dr. S.,I’m under the impression that the explosion near Kerman (central Iran) was exceptionally powerful. The three explosions in the Arab area of Khuzistan (the south west corner of Iran) were relatively ordinary bombs. There is quite a distance between the two areas. In the past couple of years Khuzistan has been the scene of clashes between the Arab minority and the regime’s thugs including a few bombings.
The Iranian Fars News Service reported this explosion in the Kerman region was so massive that it was caused by a UFO!
Fars News reports this story complete with this picture:
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- An Unidentified Flying Object crashed in Barez Mounts in the central province of Kerman Wednesday morning.
Deputy Governor General of Kerman province Abulghassem Nasrollahi told FNA that the crash which was followed by an explosion and a thick spiral of smoke has caused no casualties or damage to properties.
He further denied earlier reports that the explosion has been the result of a plane or chopper crash, reminding that all the passing aircrafts have been reported as sound and safe.
The official further stated that investigations are underway by police and other relevant authorities in this regard.
While other reports spoke of meteors, Nasrollahi said there were no conclusive witnesses in this regard but he did not dismiss the possibility that the crash has been caused by a meteor.
Eye-witnesses assure that the explosion has been caused as a result of the crash of a radiant unidentified flying object onto the ground.
Meantime, an informed source told FNA that the object has been on fire and there has been thick smoke coming out of it prior to the crash, concluding that the object couldn’t have been a meteor as meteors do not smoke.
The source also said that the crash has been witnessed by people in several cities, and mentioned that the rendezvous point is located 100 kilometers from the provincial capital city of Kerman.
What was that???
Now, that is just weird!
What happened in Kerman???
Rusty Shackleford says it was a nuclear test!
American Thinker says the situation is “tense”… I’d say that is an understatement!
Ace wonders if there is a blast connection with the planned hangings?
