I would counsel caution with this report. How a neo-con newspaper comes to have this info is anyone's guess.
Washington
Free Beacon Reports Radiation Leak at Iran’s Isfahan Nuke Site
3
January, 2013
Adam
Kredo, writing for the neocon website the Washington Free Beacon,
reports that Iran has evacuated the city of Ishahan due to a
radiation leak.
Iran’s
nuclear sites.
The
website is edited by Matthew Joseph Continetti, who is married to the
daughter big league neocon, Bill Kristol. Adam Kredo is the senior
writer at Free Beacon and writes for the Washington Jewish Week, the
Jerusalem Post, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and Politico.
According
to Kredo and the Free Beacon, Iran issued an edict ordering an
evacuation in response to high pollution levels.
“However,
outside observers suspect that the evacuation order may corroborate
previous reports indicating that a uranium enrichment facility near
Isfahan had been leaking radioactive material,” Kredo writes.
Kredo
quotes Michael Rubin, a resident scholar at the neocon think tank the
American Enterprise Institute. Rubin also worked for the Pentagon’s
Office of Special plans, the propaganda outfit that manufactured lies
for the Bush administration prior to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Bush and his successor have so far killed more than a million Iraqis.
Moreover,
Kredo fails to mention that Isfahan is the primary location of the
Iranian nuclear weapons program and the city is home to Iran’s
largest nuclear research center. China and Iran signed a nuclear
cooperation agreement in 1990 that reportedly included the
construction of a 27 MW plutonium production reactor at Isfahan,
according to GlobalSecurity.
The
latest reports arrive almost exactly a year to the day after a
mysterious explosion was reported at Isfahan. “All eyes on Israel
after second Iranian blast. CLOUDS of smoke billowed above the city
of Isfahan – evidence that the latest strike against Iran’s
alleged nuclear weapons program had hit its target,” the Australian
reported in 2011.
Iran
said the explosion was due to an accident during a military drill.
Israel said the explosion was deliberate and involved “elements we
believe were involved in storage of raw materials,” the Sunday
Times reported.
An
incident in November, 2011, “suggests that Iran’s nuclear
facilities are now coming under a concerted attack. The question is
whether Israeli forces had a hand in either blast,” The Week
reported.
The
Free Beacon report suggests that Isfahan’s nuclear facilities are a
primary target in the semi-covert war on Iran by the United States
and Israel – a logical conclusion considering the plant’s
importance to the Iranian nuclear program.
Adam
Kredo’s report of inept Iranian officials declaring an “evacuation
order fueling concerns that Iranian officials are trying to hide
something” may be a way for the Washington Free Beacon and the
neocons to announce a crucial victory in a long-term war waged
against Iran.

was this report from the BBC last November: Image
