Iran fortifies underground nuclear sites
APRIL 23, 2025
"Iran is ringing two deeply buried tunnel complexes with a massive security perimeter linked to its main nuclear complex, a report said Wednesday, amid US and Israeli threats of attack."
"The Institute for Science and International Security released its report based on recent satellite imagery..."
"Western powers suspect it is pursuing the capability to assemble a nuclear weapon through enrichment of uranium to high fissile purity, which Tehran denies.'
(As referenced numerous times,
they already have several weapons
the question is the delivery mechanism.
We can let them have them
and they wont Irans government wont stay in power without them.
So where do you think that leaves us?)
"David Albright, the institute president, said the new perimeter suggested that the tunnel complexes, under construction beneath Mount Kolang Gaz La for several years, could become operational relatively soon."
"Tehran has barred access to the tunnels to inspectors of the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) who are monitoring its nuclear program."
(Well, "surprise surprise surprise",
I wonder why that would be?)
"This has raised concerns that they could be used to store Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium or undeclared nuclear materials,
(Yeah, like what I wonder?
Remember, the Irainians
are optimisticin their:
"Capabilities"
said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.)
"...and advanced centrifuges that could quickly purify enough uranium for a bomb, Albright said."
"IAEA Director General Raphael Grossi, on a visit to Washington, told reporters on Wednesday that those possible uses by Iran of the tunnel complexes "cannot be excluded" and the agency has repeatedly raised the issue with Tehran."
"Iran, however, rejects an IAEA legal obligation requiring a member state to inform the agency of any intention to set up a nuclear facility even if radioactive materials have not been introduced, he said. "They are telling us, 'It is none of your business.'"
"It is obvious that this is a place with numerous and important activities" related to Iran's nuclear program, Grossi added. "It's a bit of a ping pong, but the digging continues, the building continues."
"The complexes, Albright said, are being built at depths much greater than Iran's deeply buried uranium enrichment facility at Fordow, near the holy city of Qom.'
(This is why
wave after wave of:
along with the Israeli domestically produced
"Bunker Busters"
(Friday, October 18, 2024
If)
Like those used on the Hezbollah HQ in Beirut
in September 2024
A Closer Look at Israel’s Use of 80 Bunker-Buster
would be needed.
Me and honey were talking about this
over coffee
close to a year ago BTW.)
"Commercial satellite images taken on March 29 showed hardened entrances to the complexes, high wall panels erected along the verges of a graded road encircling the mountain peak, and excavations for the installation of more panels, the report said.
The north side of the perimeter joins the Natanz plant security ring, it said."
("Negotiations" didnt start till 4/12 BTW.)
"Israel has not ruled out a strike on Tehran's nuclear facilities in coming months, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that any talks must lead to the complete scrapping of Iran's program."
(I keep saying, think late June,
and? If you have been following along?
You should already know why
that is.)
