An anti-mullah site is reporting a series of massive explosions at a Revolutionary Guard missile complex in southern Tehran.

NCRI - Yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, November 13) a series of explosions rocked Parchin Military Site (where missiles, including Cruise missiles, are manufactured) in southern Tehran. As a result, several military personnel of the site were injured.

The explosions reportedly started in missile industries section of the Site. When shrapnel of the explosions hit another sections, eight other warehouses located next to each other were engulfed in flames.

The fire, which began at 2:00 p.m. and was put out at 8:00 p.m., was so extensive that fire fighters from seven fire stations rushed to the scene. Four of the injured were Mostafa Nourizadeh, Alireza Verdi-lou, Nasser Rezai, and Morteza Motahari.

The clerical regime is trying very hard to prevent the news of the incident to leak and claimed that it was a normal fire. To this effect, in a memorandum to its staff and other relevant organs, it was stipulated that since the area is of military nature, no information should leak. The regime has also established a crisis headquarters to deal with the situation.

Parchin, located 30 kilometers south of Tehran, is a sprawling 60 square kilometer site. Centers and defense related industries located in Parchin belong to the Ministry of Defense (The Defense Industries Organization, Iran’s Aerospace Industries Organization, and Institution for Research and Training of the Defense Industries.)

It should be noted that the NCRI (source of the above article) is an organization affiliated with the MEK, listed as a terrorist group by the US—although that designation is rather controversial. Here’s the Wikipedia entry for National Council of Resistance of Iran, with more information.
