1. why can't I shake the idea that we or the israelis did it?

2. Because it is probably true...

Even if the evidence indicates otherwise we know to be very skeptical of an official pronouncements from our governments. You are quite correct to have that feeling.

3. Almost zero chance of that

If the Iranians had the slightest whiff of outside involvement they would certainly be saying so. The Revolutionary guards spokesperson is saying it's an accident. Same thing happened 13 months ago and they also said that was an accident as well.

These kinds of things happen.

4. Aha. There it goes. Israel caused it!

7. I saw the same story today

Apparently there are stories in the Western and Israeli media linking Mossad to the blast. So far the Iranians haven't changed their story yet. Maybe they will. We shall see.

5. A history of your posts would explain it easily.

6. are you suggesting that I am racist?

Go ahead, put it out there.
Because looking at your history shows something very telling.

8. Israelis aren't a "race."

I did "put it out there," for anyone interested. A search of your username, especially in the I/P forum, will indicate why you "can't shake the feeling it is Israel."

My history shows I am "pro-Israel," which, to posters like yourself, is almost as bad as being an Israeli.

9. Conspiracy theories abound

Rather than assuming it was a workplace accident, the internet is abuzz with vast conspiracy theories. Lots of conjecture, no facts are yet out there though.
