Iran's Head of Missile Development Dies of "Zucotti Pud" and Mossad Bomb But Mostly Mossad Bomb
You ever notice that Muslims never want to credit the Jews with the conspiracies they really are behind?
Marilyn Monroe? Oh yeah, Jews killed her.
Pwning Iran's missile program? "Ammunition malfunction."
Brigadier General Hassan Moghaddam was said to be "responsible for industrial research aimed at ensuring self-sufficiency of the Revolutionary Guards' armaments", a coded way of confirming reports that he was responsible for its missile inventory.The authorities claimed the explosion was caused by an accident which happened as ammunition was being moved, but the high-profile status of its main victim will add to speculation that it was an act of sabotage aimed at the country's nuclear weapons programme.
One US-based commentator known to have good sources in Israel's military community said he had been told it was carried out by Mossad, co-operating with an exile group, the People's Mojaheddin of Iran (MEK).
He drew comparisons with an explosion at a base housing Shahab-3 long-range missiles just over a year ago, which killed 18 people and which was also put down by the authorities to a fire in an ammunition depot.
Amateur video of the blast's aftermath past the jump.
Iran is admitting they've been hit by Stuxnet II, called Duqu.
For the first time, Iran admitted on Sunday that it had been on the receiving end of a new cyber attack by the Duqu computer virus that allegedly targeted computers of firms in the Islamic Republic.Speaking with the official IRNA news agency, head of Iranian civil defense Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali said that Tehran had developed a software to thwart attacks by the Duqu virus, adding that the "software to control the [Duqu] virus has been developed and made available to organizations and corporations" in Iran.

Because ammunition is just that sensitive.

Igniting fixed ammo can cause a lot of interesting things to happen, but, massive explosion is just not on the list. He had to be moving high explosives.

But the Iranians would claim it was a U.S. or Israeli nuke and that they were attacked.
As an excuse to do nothing, the lefty line on the talk shows over the weekend was that dissidents in Iran would become nationalistic and back the mullahs and Ahmadinejad if we or the Israelis attacked.

This seems like a good time for "would you rather"
Do you think the dissidents would rather be nuked after Iran nukes Israel, or just have their country's nuclear production facilities bombed by conventional weapons before?

This may help to envision the explosion.
Disposal of a Trident missile solid-fuel rocket motor by detonating the fuel (big explosion in the desert):
A lot of solid rocket fuels will detonate as powerful high explosives, if slammed with an intense-enough initiating explosion.
