Suspect Missile Facility Near Tabriz, Iran

January 31, 2008 - 7:00pm

Jeffrey Lewis, director of the Nuclear Strategy and Nonproliferation Initiative, takes a look at a suspect Iranian missile site on his blog, ArmsControlWonk:

REMEMBER that crazy, though possibly true BM-25 story? One detail in the story, originally published by Bild, was that BND had identified a suspect facility near Tabriz.

Reader Allen Thomson noticed that someone recently ordered a Digital Globe Image of Tabriz and found what looks a lot like a missile facility to me at 38.252 N, 46.128 E.

Update: I think this is the text in German:

Bei Täbriz, 600 Kilometer nordwestlich von Teheran, ortete die deutsche Aufklärung eine stationäre Starteinrichtung für den Test von silogestützten Raketen (Entfernung Berlin ca. 2900 Kilometer). Im Klartext: Der „Irre von Teheran“ könnte von dort Ziele in ganz Deutschland erreichen!

If anyone can find the original text, I’d be indebted.
