Winning: The Consequences of Bombing Iran
October 10, 2025: Three years ago, the Iranian response to Israeli attacks on their two underground nuclear fuel production sites at Natanz and Fordow was to build the new Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La underground facility near the Natanz site. The new operation was 1,600 meters underground, 50 percent deeper than Natanz or Fordow. The space available inside Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La will be about 50 percent less than the two current underground sites. Iran is installing more efficient centrifuges there to match current Natanz/Fordow production while occupying less space. The new facility may be more difficult to disable with an airstrike, but the last two attacks were carried out using malware or bombs planted by Israeli Mossad operatives, with the assistance of Iranians opposed to the current Iranian religious dictatorship and its obsession with creating nuclear weapons.
Iran continues to work on nuclear weapons. In 2021 the International Atomic Energy Agency/IAEA reported activity at the Iranian Natanz underground nuclear fuel enrichment facility. Israel had smuggled a large bomb into Natanz and detonated it on April 11th. The IAEA reported on Natanz enriched uranium production 54 days before the April explosion and 40 days after it. Iran initially called the explosion an accident. Within a week Iran admitted the explosion was an attack that did major damage to their new high-performance nuclear enrichment that turned uranium into weapons grade material. IAEA inspectors were allowed to view the damage and the recent IAEA report provides details of Natanz operations before and after the April explosion. IAEA found that between February and May 2021 Iran enriched 335.7 kg of uranium ore to five percent of Uranium 235. Unenriched uranium ore is only about .7 percent U-235. Uranium enrichment is a process that increases the content of Uranium 235 in uranium ore sufficiently for
