I believe that Seymour's piece led to the story leaked to Larry Johnson and Pepe Escobar about Iran's detonating a nuclear device in Iranian desert in response…

Can’t be @arabisouri, since story by Larry and Pepe was published before Hersh – on June 2nd, and Seymour Hersh published his story on June 10th
