Selon le journal Israélien Jerusalem post, l'Iran a presque terminé la construction d'un centre d'enrichissement d'Uranium qui se trouve dans une montagne prés de Natanz. Selon les sionistes, ce nouvel site va rendre toute attaque contre les installations nucléaires difficiles puicequ'il se trouve au coeur d'une montagne de 960 m de haut.
l'Iran utilise la topographie difficile de ces régions montagneuses pour construire des bases sous-terraines et aussi des sites d'enrichissement d'Uranium. Selon les Israéliens, meme la mere des bombe Américaine ne peut pas détruire ou atteindre ces installations nucléaires qui se trouvent a l'intérieur des montagnes comme l'instation de Fordow ou le nouvel site a Natanz.
Why is no one talking about Iran digging a new unbombable nuke facility? - analysis
The facility in Natanz is built deep under a massive mountain, making it extremely difficult for the IDF to ever bomb it.
Iran is developing a new nuclear threat that could be a game-changer – and which will continue to proceed regardless of whether there is a nuclear deal or not.
It is a problem that almost no one is talking about, in an area called Natanz where the Mossad allegedly blew up two different nuclear facilities in July 2020 and April 2021 respectively.
The new enormous nuclear threat is a new underground facility Iran is digging and building in the Natanz area which goes so deep under a mountain so large that it will leave the Fordow facility in the dust in terms of how difficult it would be for the IDF to strike it.
In a report, Institute for Science and International Security president David Albright wrote, “Fordow is already viewed as so deeply buried that it would be difficult to destroy via aerial attack. The new Natanz site may be even harder to destroy.”
Why no one is talking about it – other than Albright – is probably a mix of it being an issue that may not fully mature until 2023 and that there are few good options for addressing.
The main mountain harboring the new Natanz tunnel complex is called Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La and has a height of 1608 meters above sea level, he said.
In comparison, the mountain harboring the Fordow centrifuge enrichment plant, called Kūh-e Dāgh Ghū’ī, is about 960 meters tall.
The report said that this makes the Natanz mountain about 650 meters or well over 50% taller, potentially providing even greater protection to any facility built underneath it.
For around 13 years, military strategists have debated and pulled their hair out over whether Israel’s vaunted air force has weaponry that could go deep enough underground to destroy Fordow.
If Israel cannot destroy Fordow, then it substantially reduces the potential for success by any Israeli use of force against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.
Albright is saying in no uncertain terms that the new facility being built in the Natanz area will be 50% harder to destroy than Fordow, which Jerusalem might be unable to destroy.
According to the report, the underground facility is also huge.
This means that the largest segments of Tehran’s nuclear programs may eventually move to this site.
“A Western intelligence official recently stated that there is strong reason to believe that an enrichment plant is being built at the Natanz underground site, and reiterated the claim in a follow-up conversation,” wrote Albright.
