More on the Iran non-explosions

UPI: IAEA says no explosion at Iranian plant
"VIENNA, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- The International Atomic Energy Agency said Wednesday it was able to confirm Iranian accounts there was no incident at the Fordow nuclear facility."

however World Net Daily doubles down
WND:  U.N. won't deny explosions at Iran nuke plant
"Responding to WND, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, refused to deny that Iran’s nuclear facility at Fordow has been rocked by several explosions...In a statement to Reuters, IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor implied the U.N. agency had inspected the site after the reported explosions and affirmed Tehran’s insistence that the report was false.  But when asked by WND, Tudor would not confirm or deny the incident. “The agency does not evaluate matters in Iran other than those directly relating to its nuclear verification work, so although we’re aware of these media reports, we are not in a position either to confirm or deny them,” Tudor said in an email to WND.  “That said,” she continued, “I’m sure you are aware that agency inspectors regularly visit Iranian nuclear facilities under the IAEA’s safeguards agreement with that country...We understand Iran has denied that there has been an incident at Fordow, and this is consistent with our observations,” Tudor said."

That looks like a denial to me.  WND is full of crap.
