The remainder of today, then 10 days until SAM's deadline (oops, poor choice of word). I'm a bit worried about his absence from the discussion - perhaps he really has been taken into custody for questioning about his inside knowledge of military and geo-political sensitive areas...

I think the latest development is yet another example of Iranian paranoia/schizophrenia and how they want to be seen by their neighbours - as on the ball, high-tech, no nonsense hard liners, some of whom wouldn't mind having a a dash of the capitalist, secular western values that (almost) were once the norm in their country (setting aside the brutally repressive dictatorship that enabled it to be so).

As for the damage, I don't think it was inflicted by air delivered bombing, far too neat a pattern. More likely an unfortunate accident, or deliberate self destruction to stir the intel plot.
