It was an arms depot.

Missiles from Iran.

First, the warheads were destroyed. Listen to them going off. https://twitter.com/BaruchSandhaus/status/1290674498069581824
See the growing orange flame?

Keep it in mind.
Next, a second explosion.
Another view. https://twitter.com/AbirGhattas/status/1290671474269986822
And the explosion itself.
Finally, confirmation that it was an weapons depot.

AND. https://twitter.com/HeshmatAlavi/status/1290711101081092097
There were actually THREE explosions.

The "fireworks" explosion, the smoke-tower explosion, and the explosion that produced the white dome of water vapor, which became a vortex ring.

(I'll show you the vortex ring in a minute.)

But first, two explosions here.

One:
That dome is water vapor.

Here's the dome becoming a vortex ring. https://twitter.com/BaruchSandhaus/status/1290671493047881729
Vortex ring.
So what was it?

These are the missile warheads. https://twitter.com/BaruchSandhaus/status/1290674498069581824
And THIS is the rocket fuel.

"HMX, also called octogen, is a powerful and relatively insensitive nitroamine high explosive, chemically related to RDX."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMX 
"Iran intends to produce the powerful explosive Octogen for use in the warheads of its missiles to improve their 'destructive and penetration power,' Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan said Wednesday."
Octogen = HMX.

Now, remember the growing orange flame as the warheads exploded?
An explosion is the rapid release of energy.

"Detonation."

You can slow down the release of energy by BURNING the explosive.

"Deflagration."
From "Nitramine Composite Solid propellant Modeling," Naval Weapons Center, 1989, page 42.

Remember:

Octogen = HMX
When HMX is heated, it undergoes deflagration, emitting brown smoke.

The energy release is greatly reduced.

BROWN SMOKE, not red, as the idiot media is reporting.
Someone took out Iran's entire supply of rocket fuel in Lebanon.

AND.

They greatly reduced the destruction by causing DEFLAGRATION instead of DETONATION.

Iran thinks it can hide weapons depots in civilian centers, because nobody will hit them.

WRONG.
New weapons, kids.

Designed SPECIFICALLY for destroying massive weapons depots in civilian centers.

The warheads were destroyed, and a fire first took out HALF of the octogen stock, and then the SECOND HALF was taken out.
After these incidents, claims of civilian casualties are always made.

My guess is all the dead were Iranians.

Yes, windows were broken.

Would you rather have broken windows or another war?
