EDIT
An unknown aircraft fired a missile on February 16, 2005 in a deserted area near the southern city of Dailam in the province of Bushehr where Iran has a nuclear power plant, Iranian state television said. 'A powerful explosion was heard this morning on the outskirts of Dailam in the Bushehr province. Witnesses said that the missile was fired from an unknown plane 12 miles from the city,' Iran's Arabic language Al-Alam said.

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

Post by: aldo_14 on February 16, 2005, 08:26:32 am: Well, there's a counter-theory that it was just a drop tank of an Iranian plane in the region; I'm not sure if there has been an official statement on it, just news reports on Iranian state TV.
