Israel’s hit at Iran’s main uranium prosperity site of Iran Nathanz The upper part of the facility was destroyed on Friday and it is believed that its underground uranium prosperity was damaged.
Although Israel also flies in Fordo, a home of another facility that can be purified by nuclear fuel, the base is still believed to be completely functional.
This week, there has been an increase in whether the US will be Supply to Israel by weapons The Fordo plant needs to be attacked, which is very difficult to enter deep under the Natanz.
So what do you know about the Fordo plant and can it be destroyed?
What is the Ford Atomic Facility?
Fordo was originally built as a military facility for the Islamic revolutionary guard corps. It is 30 km (18.5 miles) to the northeast of the city of Kom in the northwest Iran and hundreds of meters inside the mountain.
After learning that the Western Intelligence Services was already aware of the Western Intelligence Services on September 7, Iran revealed the conversion to the nuclear site in a letter to the World Atomic Energy Weightdog.
A few days later, the United States, Britain and France publicly confirmed that they were really aware of the secret fuel conservation project at Fordo. At the Iran site, it was concluded at the beginning of 2009, trying to install 000,3 centrifuges. Until September, the conversion of Fordo was close to the completion.
Fordo is the only Iranian facility on which the IAA inspector has found the uranium particles that have been refined for the purity of the weapon-grade. This happened during an undisclosed inspection in 2023.
The IAEA said that Israel hit the day when Iran beat Iran on the main nuclear site of Iran.
Has Fordo damaged in a recent Israeli strike?
Iran finished Fordo.
But on Monday, IAEA Director General Rafael Groce said: “There was no damage to the Fordo fuel prosperity project or the construction of the Khondab Heavy Water Nuclear.”
What do you know about nuclear development at Fordo?
After the presence of the Fordo site in 1 in, the United States and Iran started the first direct discussion in 30 years.
“The goal of this negotiation is to reach a long -term unanimous solution to the goal of this negotiation, which will ensure that Iran’s nuclear program will be completely calm,” the IAEA said.
While Iran introduced the design information to the Fordov on Fordov on October 1, the responsibility of reporting its report under the Safdgards agreement with the UN agency.
Two years later, on September 7, the then-IIA Director General Yakia Amano revealed that Iran made centrifuges in Fordo’s “Fordo” to create a rich uranium for 5 percent.
Until March 1, Amano reported that the monthly production of 5 percent-rich uranium in Fordo has tripled because four cascades of centrifuges had started the simultaneous operation.
Uranium prosperity is the process of increasing the concentration of uranium -235 amnum in natural uranium, which usually contains only 0.7 percent U -235. To produce nuclear weapons, uranium must be enriched by about 90 percent U -235. Once it is enriched at that level, uranium is considered “weapon-grade”.
In 2015, Iran, China, Russia, the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the European Union signed the joint comprehensive plan (JCPOA). The agreement was strictly controlled by the Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for approval.
In 2015, Iran was believed to have been installed at Fordo in Fordo.
What did Iran agreed under JCPOA?
As the JCPOA discussion grew, Iran stopped production in Fordo till January 5 by BY and did not “make any further progress”, the IAA said in the rest of the year. Iran also diluted its rich uranium reserves to 5 percent purity.
JCPOA banned prosperity at Fordo, and allowed only the peaceful development of the nuclear technology in Iran for energy production in exchange for completing approval.
Iran agreed to refrain from any uranium prosperity and research of uranium prosperity in Fordo for 15 years. He also agreed to keep no nuclear content there, but instead, “Convert Fordo facility to a nuclear, physics and technology center”.
While traveling to Natanz, more than 1,000 centrifuges were allowed to stay there – whatever the IAEA said that it was done till January 1 by.
Are you concerned about the hidden atom record in Fordo?
Despite the JCPOA, concerns and guesses about the Fordo facility continued.
In 2016, Iran placed the Russian S -300 Air Defense system above the facility, showing that there is a fear of direct air collision.
After US President Donald Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018, Iran gradually released his problems, although the European partners tried to defend the contract.
During the undisclosed inspection in January 2023, IAA found two sets of two centrifuges at Fordo, which could enrich the uranium 60 percent accuracy due to the Terharan’s Safgugads agreement with the UN agency of Tehran.
“Iran imposed significant changes to the design information announced for the Fordo fuel conservation project (FFEP) without any information to the agency.
IAEA also said Uranium found The particles at Fordo rich in 83.7 per cent of the purity-90 percent of the richness required for the grazing uranium.
“In the Fordo Fuel Conservation Project, we found high -rich uranium particles with the prosperity level declared by Iran,” Groce said on March 6, 2023.
Iran rejected this. June this year, Iran told the IAEA that “All efforts have ended to find the root of such particles in that place. According to the detailed inspection and exams, the concerned Iranian security authorities have recently discovered the following indications that the contamination of those seats has been involved in the contamination of those seats.”
Can Israel Fordo destroy the facility?
It is widely believed that Israel does not have access to this facility unless he deploy the commando unit to enter it and physical explosives – a dangerous operation.
Fordo fuel conservation plant is considered to be a more difficult target than Natanz, because it is inside the mountain.
In the United States, however, there is a bomb that can theoretically destroy Fordo. The grand Ordnance Penctor weighs 13,600 kg (30,000 lbs). If these bombs are released from B -2 bombers, they will possibly collapse Fordo’s underground bunkers. Trump Left open on Wednesday He is likely to deploy these weapons.
Trump told reporters in the oval office, “I do not plan to fight.” “But if you have a choice to fight and have nuclear weapons, you have to do what you have to do.”
Generally in mysterious fashion, they said: “I can do this. I can’t do it.”
