I've been curious about the articles I've seen lately on the topic of meteors striking Iran, especially because they claim there is mass destruction associated with the hits. So, I went digging for information.
I've linked to a few related finds below.
The conclusion I came to is that it appears that a news cast claims a rural area of Iran was struck by a meteor. There are at least two reported "productions of this news cast" from Iran that can be found on video but it would need reliable interpretation to verify what is being said. The rock shown that was reportedly found in a field ought to be looked at through scientific means and deductions, starting with asking, "For a rock that size, where was the strike zone that should have been visible around it?" There is a picture claiming to be of the meteor coming in that looks like the moon shot from inside of a moving car window to me.
The meteor sites mentioned it in the same way they report any claim of a meteor strike and nothing more.
There is no footage or mention of mass destruction to be found on any of the UK sites or by searching directly on known sources local to Iran. (That I can find so far anyway.)
Then I found the usual suspect dis-info sites taking this story, hyping it up, adding mass destruction and doing what they do best, ie publishing it on their sister sites to give it false credibility by appearing to be a mainstream story. For example, "The Daily Sheeple." If you believe everything you read on thieir website, please "Wake up! " They know who they are catering to, and they say so in their name.
Following the initial dis-info article, it can be found picked up and repeated by links, on forums and in blogs without any further fact checking or information.
Summary: At this point I don't feel positive that a meteor even landed in Iran. I definitely don't find evidence of mass destruction. I find no conspiracy to cover anything up here, other than to cover up the methods of disinfo sites to protect their right to mislead the gullible.

Not saying this is what happened but it puts an interesting angle on the topic.
