Israel began an unprecedented attack last week against Iran When pointing out that I was about to end the construction of atomic bombs or nuclear, which considers “a regional risk.”
Although they will deny such an accusation, He had refused to give the international atomic energy agency precise details about your program.
Experts have said they will go You can have at least 90% uranium enrichment, A basic component of nuclear weapons, when allowed by the international body is 60%.
According to a review made by the Argentine newspaper Infobae, The same US supported Iranian nuclear development in the 1950s in times when the monarchy of that country had constant relationship and support of Washington.
However, in 1979, after the Islamic revolution that changed the entire government apparatus, The new Islamic Republic of Iran broke with the US. And he turned more towards Russia and China to devote himself to nuclear research.
Thus, in the 2000s, Iran’s nuclear programs had grown up, to the point that There is no accurate knowledge of the content of your projects. This was the justification that Israel used to perpetrate an unprecedented attack.
What are the nuclear centers of Iran?
According to Infobae, There is little information about the total nuclear operations centers In the Iranian Republic, but researchers account for at least a dozen sites in that country.
According to an investigation of the British chain BBC, based on data from international organizations, These centrals would be distributed as follows:
- Three research facilities: Bonab, Tehran and Khondab. In the latter there is a partially built heavy water reactor.
- A nuclear energy plant in Bushehr.
- Two uranium mines (basic for nuclear production) in Saghand and Bandar Abbas.
- A uranium conversion plant in Isfahán.
- Two uranium enrichment plants in Fordo and Natanz.
- Two nuclear activities sites that have not been declared in Marivan and Lavisan.
What is the most important?
According to The conversation, “The destruction of the Iranian nuclear program would imply the destruction of all known facilities, Including the Fordow Uranium enrichment plant, located about a hundred kilometers south of Tehran.
But destroying it would be an odyssey. “According to the general director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA), Rafael Grossi, the installation It is about 800 meters underground, Under a mountain. It is probably out of reach of the 900 kg deep penetration pumps of the United States, “explains The Conversation.
The destruction of this plant would be one of the reasons for the US. gets involved in war, Because only Washington would have the ability to damage it significantly.
