Israel wants to bomb Iranian nuclear facility with US giant bomb
General Amos Gilad, who for many years handled the Iran issue in various professional roles, on Saturday told the TV channel N12:
– Iran can repair everything we destroy if it gets time. But if the ovens (where the uranium turns into gas) and the centrifuges (where the lighter uranium isotope U235 is separated from the heavier U238) is put out of play, then Iran’s task becomes much heavier.
In addition to the important equipment At the site, Fordow is also suspected to be the place where Iran stores parts of its enriched uranium. Engineer and General Yaakov Nagel, who is close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told the Israeli radio news magazine on Saturday:
– We have to persuade the United States to help us with Fordow!
In 2009, in a dramatic appearance, the United States, Britain’s and France’s leaders announced that a huge, underground nuclear facility was discovered in Fordow near the city of Qom. Iran had not reported its existence to the UN Atomic Energy Agency IAEA. In 2015, the IAEA started an inspection by Fordow, which, however, was canceled in 2018, when Donald Trump withdrew from the Nuclear Energy Agreement with Iran.
On the British island of Diego Garcia In the Indian Ocean, the United States holds a number of B-2 bombers, which delivers the largest bomb of all time, the GPS-controlled MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator). Each mop weighs 14 tons. The Iranian bomb that killed at least six people and destroyed many apartment buildings south of Tel Aviv on Sunday weighed almost half a ton.
Netanyahu hopes Iran will commit the stupidity to attack the US bases in the region. Iran, who threatened to do this, is so far, and has given their allies in Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon orders not to show solidarity through attacks against the United States.
Israel has made clear For Iran that the attacks against civilian targets in Israel will be answered with attacks against Iran’s energy supply. Known Israeli military historian Martin van Creld tells DN:
– War is easy to start and difficult to end. Iran and Israel cannot reach a ceasefire themselves. It will be the US, or someone else’s, the task of ending this.
