Iran Quake 4.7 Mag

Depth 5 Kilometers

A Persian Nuke Test?

Readers should note that the epicenter of this reported seismic event is in the middle of Iran's various nuclear research facilities. Not too far from Arak with its new "heavy water" facility. Also not far from Isfahan which is where another major nuclear facility is located. Various intelligence analysts, particularly in Israel suspect that North Korea's recent nuclear test is somehow linked to Iran's nuclear weapons program. The speculation is that the flurry of North Korean activity may be a ruse to take away the spotlight from Iran to allow Iran to quickly finish producing its first nuclear bomb. It may well be that the North Korean test was a joint test with Iran.

Iranian Seismological Center's report - LINK HERE.  USGS Report - LINK HERE.  USGS Site Map LINK HERE. It should be noted that the USGS estimates the depth of 42 kilometers instead of 5 kilometers as reported by Iran itself. 5 kilometers fits with a potential underground nuclear detonation test but 42 kilometers would be way too deep. Keep in mind that Iran is prone to earthquakes. Whether or not this seismic event was natural or part of an Iranian nuclear test is just speculation at this point. However, the White House would probably prefer to keep quiet about the possibility of Iran conducting such a nuclear test, unless Iran amkes some sort of public announement, which it has not yet occured.
