IAEA confirms construction by Iran of new uranium enrichment plant

Iran has begun construction of an underground uranium enrichment facility. This was stated by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi in an interview with the Associated Press (AP).

According to him, IAEA inspectors received confirmation of previously received information on the construction of an underground plant to create centrifuges for uranium enrichment. Grossi did not provide any other details, stating that the information is confidential. At the same time, Grossi confirmed that Iran is still giving IAEA inspectors access to its facilities, including at Natanz.

They (the Iranians) started it, but did not complete it. It's a long process

- he added.

In July of this year, a fire broke out at a ground facility at the Natanz nuclear center where uranium was being enriched. Tehran called it sabotage, refusing to officially name the suspected sabotage. However, the most popular version, voiced by the media and experts, is involvement in Israeli sabotage.

In September this year, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi said that in connection with the sabotage at the nuclear facility in Natanz, Iran had decided to start work on the creation of a new workshop for the production of centrifuges for uranium enrichment.

Due to the harsh subversive actions, the decision was made to create a more modern, large and in every way advanced workshop in the heart of the mountain near Natanz. Of course, we have already started this work.

- he said.

According to the IAEA, Iran continues to accumulate reserves of low-enriched uranium, but today it does not have the necessary amount for the production of nuclear weapons... Tehran was close to developing nuclear weapons in 2015, Grossi said, but did not.

Iran reportedly has 2105 kg of low enriched uranium, although an international agreement allows Tehran to have only 202,8 kg.

The fact that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons is a matter of time

[rocket757]

He is not the only one who wants to protect himself in this way ... the process is not fast, in general it requires development in other directions.
Anyway, if they want, they will do it.

[Shurik70]

However, the phrase "we know that they do it, but we will not show evidence, since they are secret" is becoming more and more popular in the world.
I know for sure that the United States is preparing a terrorist attack on the moon with the use of bacteriological weapons. But I will not show the evidence, since they are secret.

[rocket757]

All international organizations, councils and other structures were created by specific countries in pursuance of their specific goals !!!
What else to expect from them?
The main beneficiary on the planet is who and how he is now stirring up any topic, in such a simple way about a secret, a secret, a secret that he will not tell anyone about.
It's all clear how his servants will act.

[Thrifty]

How else to survive in this world without having in your pocket a powerful argument in the form of your own nuclear weapons?

[DAQ]

This is what the IAEA experts found.
What progress in the nuclear program is actually unknown.
Nobody believes in the peaceful nature of the nuclear program.
The claims to Iran are not in the program itself, but in the independent enrichment of uranium. The Iranians do not like the type of imported enriched uranium for nuclear power plants. They say that they want to be energetically independent.
The sanctions inflicted not several times, but orders of magnitude more economic damage than the potential benefit from a nuclear power plant.

In our time, only the presence of nuclear weapons cools hot heads and it is impossible to reproach Iran for taking care of its security.

[Proton]

Iran's creation of nuclear weapons is nothing more than a response to the pressure that is being exerted on this country.
If someone does not want the Persians not to have the weapon of incineration, it is necessary to sit down at the negotiating table and make compromises.
The axiom "I'm right because I'm right" doesn't work.

[Danila46]

The only country in the world that will not reconcile with an Iranian nuclear bomb is Israel. Iran's condition to Israel is one: VANISH OFF THE POLITICAL MAP OF THE WORLD!
What kind of compromise, in this situation, do you offer Israel ??? Diplomatic you are our ...

[Proton]

Israel has about the same conditions for Iran, such as "Disappear".
Let the politicians offer a compromise. When there are no compromises, war will start. If they do not want to live in peace, let them strangle each other.
But I don’t think that Iran is to blame for all the problems. When two people quarrel, both are to blame.

[Danila46]

this is when who and where Israel or Israeli officials called for the destruction of Iran ???

Do you live on the moon?) Israel is constantly calling for something to bomb in Iran and destroy the Islamic regime, in turn Iran calls for the destruction of the Zionist regime in Israel.

It is logical to assume that in Iran they propose to bomb not SOMETHING in Israel, but airbases with planes that strike and the Israeli leadership, which wants to destroy everyone who thinks differently from them.

Is it for this reason that Israel has no real opponents in BV? And there were fewer real enemies. We have been living in peace with Jordan for 26 years, with Egypt for 42 years. Just the other day, peace treaties were concluded with the UAE and Bahrain, direct negotiations are underway with Sudan and with a number of moderate Arab states.

One of the goals of the Islamic Revolution, proclaimed by the Great Ayatola Khomeini, is to destroy the Zionist entity in the Middle East. And under the Shah, Iran was the first sidekick of the Jews in the region - the Persian military was trained by the IDF

With this, everything is clear.
Your claims to Iran are not clear if, in your words, "Iran has no territorial, material or economic claims to Israel," and "It develops its nuclear program not at all in the desire to destroy Israel."
Apparently you have not correctly stated your idea.

Israel only politely asked Iran not to stick any husk to our borders, not to give it serious weapons, etc.

How can you make a claim to the program?
1. Israel publicly declared that Iran, hiding behind the words about "peaceful atom", enriches and accumulates uranium to create nuclear weapons.
2. IAEA confirms this statement.
3. Indeed, "the Jewish state will do everything possible to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons."

Now, about who to believe.
Imagine that Iran has created nuclear weapons. Who will he use it against? Against Israel?
They speak out very loudly for the Palestinian brothers. Where will they hit with nuclear weapons? Jerusalem, where 200 Arabs live? In Tel Aviv with another 000? By the reactor in Dimona, so 150 Bedouins will instantly go to the heavens. In Israel, almost 000/100 of cities with a mixed population!
The nuclear excess will surely affect Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, and turn a real piece of the Mediterranean into a swamp. For what? Well, Israel bombed several objects of pro-Iranian militias in Siri. Well, half a dozen more sheds where they say that precision weapons were kept for Hezbollah. To start a nuclear war for this? Think carefully and trust yourself.

[Vladimir_6]

Frankly, it is not clear how this can be done. The North Koreans were also pressed to the fullest, but did not break.

Nuclear weapons these days are designed to contain aggression. Iran also needs it for the same purposes. Ayatollahs personally observed the process of "democratization" of Libya, Iraq, Syria. Apparently they decided they didn't need it.

Well, Israel bombed several objects of pro-Iranian militias in Siri. Well, half a dozen more sheds where they say that precision weapons were kept for Hezbollah.

In my comments, I always expressed the opinion that it is high time for the Iranian servicemen to go home from Syria. Unlike others, the topic of destroyed Iranian barns does not irritate me.

Israel has nothing to do with North Korea.
I do not know how to do this, but judging by the reports in open periodicals, there are such methods.

A bill has been submitted to the US Congress to authorize the sale of the most powerful bomb from the US non-nuclear arsenal to Israel.
"We need to be sure that Israel - our ally - is armed and ready to confront any type of threat, including the threat from Iran."
We are talking about the so-called MOP - Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a GBU-57 anti-bunker bomb, which penetrates underground to a depth of 60 meters and penetrates 19 meters of reinforced concrete. It is manufactured by the Boeing concern. This is the latest development, created in 2007 to combat buried structures. In 2018, the bomb was modified and modernized to strike hard-to-hit and deep targets.

GBU-57 is an American anti-bunker bomb, which Boeing developed specifically to destroy underground fortifications. Before the explosion, it is capable of penetrating the ground to a depth of 61 m or punching up to 19 m of reinforced concrete. Until now, this ammunition has been banned from selling outside the United States.

It is noted that the cigar-shaped bomb weighs 13,6 tons, its length is 6,25 m, its diameter is 80 cm, and the mass of the warhead is 2700 kg. The bomb is laser-guided, its main charge explodes already inside the underground target. It is delivered to the target by the B-2A Spirit strategic bomber, stealthy for radars.

It works like this:

All that you have listed is. The people of Palestine have lived there for more than one millennium and they have their own traditions. And the fact that there is no currency is a consequence of the tyranny that you carry out in relation to them. You would be placed in a 10 by 10 isolation ward and live your life as you please. And I would see what currency you would print.

[Danila46]

in which book did you read about the state of Palestine? Is there any custom that characterizes a Palestinian? Not an Arab.
Yes, the Arabs lived here, but like the Jews. All 2000 thousand last years. Just at the beginning of the 20th century, Jews from all over the world began to buy land here from Turks and Arabs. They began to cultivate this godforsaken land, full of malaria swamps. They began to hire local Arabs. And lo and behold! These Arabs were attracted by their relatives from Egypt, Trans-Jordan, Syria because the Jews gave them work here and paid not badly for it. And now these guest workers are demanding statehood here ??? This is just arrogance in my opinion!

[1976AG]

Impudence is that the UN defined your borders for you in 1948, and you climbed to seize foreign lands. You are the real occupiers, not only in relation to Palestine, but also in relation to Syria. And at the same time, you have the audacity to blame someone else!

Mistake!
The Jews agreed with the borders and adopted a resolution - the Arabs no! And they went to conquer in May 1948 the Lands intended by the UN for two states - Israel and the Land of the Palestinian Arabs.
With Israel, there was a bummer, but the lands allocated for the Arab state were completely mastered for themselves - Egypt took Gaza, and Jordan - Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem
So sho, who is the occupier and the radish?
And in general, everything is interesting with Syria - they fired at Israel from the Golan Heights for 19 years - men
But at the right moment, in June 1967, after the IDF attacked Egypt - no, to sit quietly, so the shelling resumed. With enormous damage for the Jews - 20 village houses, a cowshed, two chicken coops, 4 tractors and a combine - within these limits, in short)).
Well, it is clear that having dealt with Egypt and firing mortars at Jerusalem and guns at the Mediterranean resorts of Jews in Jordan, the Zionists took the Golan - because it was not good for the French to give the Syrians the heights dominating the terrain - they didn’t build anything worthwhile, and the neighbors were firing, and they were far from military facilities
