Uranium hidden in Iran’s underground tunnel? IAEA Chief’s big revelation, claims of stockpile capable of making 10 nuclear bombs

When America and Israel attacked Iran, the biggest reason given was that Tehran was rapidly moving towards making nuclear weapons. Now Rafael Grossi, head of the United Nations nuclear monitoring body International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has shared a shocking information. According to Grossi, a large amount of Iran’s enriched uranium was stored in an underground tunnel complex in the Isfahan area and is likely still there.

Enough uranium to make 10 nuclear bombs?

According to IAEA estimates, Iran had about 440.9 kg of 60% enriched uranium at the time of the war. According to experts, if this uranium is further purified, about 10 atomic bombs can be made from it. Grossi said that uranium enriched to 60 percent is considered very close to weapons-grade level, so it is a matter of concern for the international community.

Tunnel complex survived despite American attacks

There are three major nuclear centers considered in Iran, Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow. In June last year, America “Operation Midnight Hammer” These targets were targeted under the IAF. American B-2 bombers had dropped 30-30 thousand pound bunker buster bombs on Fordow Nuclear Center, which have the capability of causing devastation up to 200 feet below the ground. At that time, US President Donald Trump had claimed that Iran’s nuclear sites had been completely destroyed. However, many experts believe that the underground tunnel complex built near Isfahan was saved from these attacks.

No signs of uranium shift

Speaking to journalists in Paris, Grossi said that at the last inspection, Isfahan contained about 200 kg of 60% enriched uranium. There has been no clear indication so far from satellite images and other monitoring methods that this uranium has been shifted to any other place.

There may be some reserves in Natanj also

According to the IAEA, Iran has not provided any new information to the agency regarding the status of its nuclear stockpile since the attacks last year. Also, international inspectors have not been allowed to visit the bombed sites. Grossi says some of the 60 percent enriched uranium may also be stored at the Natanz nuclear center.

Will America send special forces?

Meanwhile, media reports have claimed that America is considering a Special Forces mission to capture or destroy the material present in Iran’s underground nuclear bases. The purpose of this possible mission would be to ensure that Iran does not move towards building nuclear weapons. However, it is not yet clear whether only America will participate in this campaign or Israel will also take action along with it.
