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
