's Russian-built 1,000-megawatt nuclear reactor, its only nuclear power plant, is due to start operating in Bushehr province in late 2005.

I certainly hope we hear more about this. Perhaps it is more evidence to support Dave Schuler's theory that we may we may already be at war with . Or it may be nothing at all. But with all the reports about goings on in it bears watching.

UPDATE: The Associated Press reports that the explosion may have been caused by a fuel tank dropping from an ian plane. A spokesman for 's Interior Ministry said the blast was heard minutes after an ian airplane flew over the city and had not been caused by a hostile attack.
