Iran’s newest nuclear facility struck by ‘saboteurs’

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Five Iranian nuclear scientists are known to have been assassinated since
2007. Mr Abbasi was himself wounded when a motorcyclist attached a bomb to
his car in Tehran in November 2010, on the same day as another scientist was
killed by this method.

The Fordow enrichment plant, buried beneath about 260ft of rock and earth, was
built in secret from 2006 onwards. But Western intelligence discovered its
construction, allowing President Barack Obama to reveal the installation’s
existence in 2009. Fordow is Iran’s most valuable plant because its location
in a hollowed out mountainside could render it immune to air attack.

The IAEA says that 696 centrifuges are being used to enrich uranium inside
Fordow, with another 1,444 installed but not yet operational. If these
machines lost their power supply, they would be severely damaged, said Mark
Fitzpatrick, the head of non-proliferation at the International Institute
for Strategic Studies.

“If there was no power source to keep them spinning, and if they stopped,
as they slowed down they would crash,” he said.

But IAEA inspectors visited Fordow the day after the incident, on Aug 18.
Their report on Iran’s nuclear programme, released on Aug 30, does not
mention any damage to the centrifuges.

This suggests that Fordow must have a backup electricity system. It would, in
any case, be an extraordinary oversight for an installation of this
sensitivity to lack an independent power supply and rely on a normal grid
connection.

The development of Fordow may not be progressing as rapidly as Iran might have
hoped. While the total number of centrifuges installed in the plant has
tripled since February, the number of operational machines has remained
constant for the last seven months at 696.

Mr Fitzpatrick noted that the electricity supply for Iran’s other enrichment
plant at Natanz had been singled out for sabotage, with one power surge
destroying 50 centrifuges. It was “entirely conceivable” that
Fordow could be encountering the same attention, he said.

The CIA is understood to have begun a sabotage campaign, code-named “Olympic
Games”, under the Bush administration. The most successful intervention
was the Stuxnet computer virus, which makes centrifuges spin out of control
and tear themselves to pieces. This was infiltrated into Natanz in 2009 and
briefly forced all enrichment to be halted for emergency repairs. This virus
alone probably delayed Iran’s nuclear ambitions by up to a year.
