I've Been Thinking:
Two weeks ago a huge explosion was heard in Isfahan, the third largest city in Iran.
The explosion came from a factory that refined yellow cake also known as urania. The blast was reported on Iranian websites - but then quickly taken down.
Now there are intelligence satellite pictures that show bulldozers at work clearing rubble and destroying buildings in the factory compound.
The pictures in and of themselves do not say anything - but they allow so to make inferences as to what truly happened as a result of that blast.
We can infer that the factory was badly damaged by the explosion and we can infer that Iranian decision makers are either knocking down the building in order to rebuild it, or in order to eliminate evidence of any explosion.
Any way you look at it, it is clear that Iran's nuclear program was damaged. The extent of that damage is harder to assess.
