Western sabotage cannot stop Iran’s nuclear program – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news

According to Mehr News Agency, Associated Press News Agency in a report He made the claim that the Islamic Republic of Iran has started the construction of a nuclear site near the Natanz site and at a depth of more than 80 meters.

At the beginning of its report, this American media claims that near the Zagros mountains in the center of Iran, workers are building a nuclear site deep in the ground, which is very likely very deep. Beyond Range is the latest American weapon designed to destroy such places.

Associated Press used satellite photos and videos taken by the earth imaging company “Plant” to prove its claim. lipsIt is cited and claimed that in the middle of the deadlock between Iran and the West over Tehran’s nuclear program, the Islamic Republic of Iran started digging a tunnel in the heart of a mountain near the Natanz site, the same site that was used in years It has been the target of vandalism several times recently.

This American media continues by reminding the impasse of negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, claiming that Iran is engaged in producing uranium that is not far from reaching the weapons level after the nuclear negotiations with the West have stopped. According to the Associated Press, in this situation, the construction of such a nuclear site will add difficulty to the West’s efforts to prevent the production of an atomic bomb in Iran.

The Associated Press quotedKelsey DavenportThe director of nonproliferation policy at the Washington-based Arms Control Association calls the construction of such a facility a nightmare that risks creating a spiral. in the seeks the new.

In its report, this American media talks about the story of the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA and the violation of this agreement and writes that five years after the withdrawal of the then US President Donald Trump from the Iran nuclear deal, the construction of a new site near Natanz is underway. . The argument of the then American president for violating the JCPOA was that this agreement does not include Iran’s missile program and regional actions.

The Associated Press writes that the agreement that Trump violated limited Iran’s uranium enrichment to 3.67 percent and kept Iran’s uranium reserves at around 300 kilograms. However, since the JCPOA violation, the level of uranium enrichment announced by Iran has been 60%. Of course, the Associated Press also claims in its report that the agency’s inspectors found uranium particles with a higher purity and close to the purity required for making atomic weapons.

This claim is also quoted by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency in the Associated Press report that until February, international inspectors estimated Iran’s enriched uranium reserves to be more than 10 times greater than during the nuclear agreement and claim that Tehran currently has enough enriched uranium to build It has several atomic bombs.

The Associated Press, of course, in its report points to the emphasis of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s authorities on transparent and peaceful nuclear activities under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency and writes that Tehran has repeatedly said that it has the ability to build nuclear weapons, but it does not seek to build such a weapon.

This American media, quoting Iran, claims that the new site is supposed to replace the Natanz centrifuge production center, which was damaged by an explosion and fire in July 2020. The vandalism that Tehran Tel Aviv announced as the main responsible for it.

Associated Press once again referring to satellite imagesPlanet lipsHe adds the geographical coordinates of the site in question to his claims and writes that this site is under construction next to the Natanz site and at a distance of 225 km south of Tehran. Images analyzed by the James Martin Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation Studies show that four entrances have been dug into the heart of the mountain, two to the east and two to the west, the report said. Each of these entrances is 6 meters (20 feet) wide and 8 meters (26 feet) high.

Citing experts from the James Martin Nuclear Nonproliferation Center, this western media estimates the depth of this site to be between 80 meters (260 feet) and 100 meters (328 feet). According to the experts of this center, it is also added that Iran can probably use these underground facilities not only for building centrifugebut also for uranium enrichment.

According to the Associated Press, “Steven D La FuenteA research associate at the James Martin Center for Studies considers the depth of this site to be worrisome because it will be much more difficult for the West to destroy such a site using conventional weapons.

In its alleged estimate, the Associated Press writes that Iran’s new facilities are likely to be deeper than the site Fredo and this is the issue that has caused panic in the West because Iran has strengthened its nuclear program against air strikes.

The Associated Press, citing the US military, notes that the existence of such underground facilities led the US to develop the GBU-57 bomb, which can penetrate at least 60 meters (200 feet) of the ground before exploding. According to reports, US officials have even discussed the possibility of using two bombs of this type in succession to ensure the destruction of an underground site. are. Of course, it is not clear that such weapons can damage the depth of the new site of Natanz.

Associated Press in this part of the report implied the direct role of the West in the subversive actions facilities Iran’s nuclear chief points out, and Western officials insist, that if such bombs are not considered to counter Iran, the US and its allies effectively have fewer options on the table to target the site, and if diplomacy with Tehran fails, sabotage attacks are likely. Taken.

In its report, this American media addresses the targeting of the Natanz site by the Stuxnet virus, which was created by the United States and the Zionist regime, and reminds that the Zionist regime is the number one accused in the assassination of nuclear scientists and the sabotage attacks by drones against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

At the end of its alleged narrative, the Associated Press quotes Davenport, an expert of the Non-Proliferation Center, James Martin, as saying that the West’s resort to sabotage may only set back Iran’s nuclear program in the short term, but it cannot be a long-term strategy against Iran. .
