'3 explosions heard in Tehran near missile facility'

Three explosions were heard in western Tehran on Tuesday, in an area where Iran carries out missile research and storage, according to a Tweet by a BBC Persian journalist.

It was not immediately clear if there were injuries or damage in the incident.

....

Tuesday's report of explosions came days after Israel allegedly carried out two air strikes in Syria over the weekend, targeting Iranian-supplied Fateh-110 surface-to-surface missiles destined for Hezbollah.

After the Syrian raids, I expected more press coverage.

So Israeli planes attacked Syria, and stuff in Iran just blows up. Who is it that builds air defense, stealth and drone technology? If Iran or for that matter Syria ever did decide to fire missiles or bomb some one other than their own people life would be short for Iran and surrogates. There is not much use in trying to compete with the Planetary experts in cold war.
