I find that sort of theory rather unlikely,I mean if you`re going to go to the trouble of using a cruise missile then it doesnt matter at that point if its one or ten,also why not just directly target the center of the structure for maximum effect.I think that if it were that sort of attack then you wouldnt see the sort of damage that you see here.On the topic at hand, In these images there's an impact crater visible on the road passing above the building, So this is likely an external explosion most likely caused by a cruise missile that hit that part of the road.
Its clear that most of the stronger parts of the building ie the brick walls have handled the blast fairly well with limited damage,by comparison the roof cladding has clearly been blown off and is concentrated in one area on the left hand side of the building indicating that the blast was in the center or perhaps right hand side.
It has many of the hallmarks of a bleve type explosion[boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion]especially the large amount of scorching and heat damage that is clearly visible inside the structure,this is in fact exactly what you often see with gas bottles or canisters exploding,its actually quite similar to an fae [fuel-air explosive] except that it occurred inside the building.
Now this isnt to say that this might not actually be the result of sabotage,but personally I still remain unconvinced of theories involving atgms,drones,nlos or pgm type attacks as not only would some of these lack the power necessary to do this level of damage but that these would also at a minimum leave very obvious traces that would make any attempt at plausible deniability impossible and would invite direct iranian retaliation which for something that brazen would not be long in coming,not to mention that all of the previous israeli and us attempts at sabotage involved nothing on that sort of level.
