Yet Another Explosion at Iranian Nuclear Site<\/h2>\n

July 3, 2020<\/p>\n

A fire and explosion damaged a centrifuge production plant above Iran\u2019s Natanz nuclear enrichment facility at around 2:00 AM local time on Thursday.<\/div>\n
\n

Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, denied that the damage was significant, claiming it took place at an under-construction \u201cindustrial shed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite his claims, Iran\u2019s state-run IRNA news agency published a commentary addressing the possibility of the \u201cindustrial shed\u201d being the target of sabotage by enemy nations such as Israel and the US. The Iranian media also blamed foreign enemies for other recent explosions in the country. https:\/\/www.breakingisraelnews.com\/154184\/anotehr-explosion-at-iranian-nuclear-site\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Setback for Iran\u2019s Nuclear Program After Mystery Fire at Centrifuge Assembly Site<\/h2>\n

July 3, 2020<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON – New details of an Iranian nuclear facility damaged in a mysterious fire suggest Thursday\u2019s incident is a much greater setback to Iran\u2019s nuclear ambitions than Tehran has publicly admitted.<\/p>\n

The Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security identified the facility as a centrifuge assembly workshop at the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant in central Iran\u2019s Isfahan province. …<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took the Iranians a long time to build this workshop,\u201d Institute researcher Sarah Burkhard told VOA Persian in an interview. \u201cIts construction started in 2012 and they only got to a point where they could start operations there in 2018,\u201d she said. …<\/p>\n

The AEOI\u2019s photo of the aftermath of the fire, which it said happened at 2 a.m. Thursday local time, showed extensive damage to one end of the workshop, with roof panels charred, exterior walls cracked and doors ripped from their hinges, apparently from the force of an explosion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe equipment inside the workshop was meant to be used for making precision measurements in assembling advanced centrifuges that are sensitive machines and difficult to build, because you have to ensure that they are identical,\u201d Burkhard said. \u201cWe think the centrifuge equipment likely is not easily replaceable, because the components would be subject to international export controls,\u201d she added. …<\/p>\n

The United States also sanctioned Iran\u2019s Centrifuge Technology Company (TESA) in 2011 and since then has further sanctioned international companies in TESA\u2019s procurement network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, saying it was not tough enough on Tehran, and began unilaterally imposing sanctions aimed at pressuring Iranian leaders to stop a range of perceived malign behaviors. Iran, which denies seeking nuclear weapons, has vowed to resist the U.S. sanctions, which have weakened its economy. Tehran also has been violating a series of limits on its nuclear activities since last year to try to pressure the 2015 deal\u2019s remaining signatories to compensate it for the U.S. sanctions. …<\/p>\n

Burkhard also said the damage to the facility was so large that it did not appear to have been caused by an industrial accident. Her colleague David Albright told The New York Times<\/em><\/a>\u00a0that he believed it was an act of sabotage, because the assembly of centrifuge components in the workshop would have involved few flammable liquids and was unlikely to be dangerous.<\/p>\n

After downplaying the incident, Iranian state news agency IRNA<\/a> issued a warning later Thursday, saying \u201cif there are signs of hostile countries crossing Iran’s red lines in any way, especially the Zionist regime (Israel) and the United States, Iran’s strategy to confront the new situation must be fundamentally reconsidered.\u201d https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/middle-east\/voa-news-iran\/setback-irans-nuclear-program-after-mystery-fire-centrifuge-assembly-site<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Notice that this explosion is NOT considered to be an accident. Iran cannot be pleased with this or the other explosion about a week ago that allegedly came from an Israeli cyber attack (see BIN: Israeli Cyber-Attack Caused Secret Iranian Nuclear Missile Plant to Explode<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Before going further, perhaps it should be mentioned that the basic purpose of having newer and advanced centrifuges is to get weapon’s grade uranium and\/or to use in some nuclear power plants.<\/p>\n

Here is some information related to centrifuges:<\/p>\n

A gas centrifuge<\/b> is a device that performs isotope separation of gases. A centrifuge relies on the principles of centripetal force accelerating molecules so that particles of different masses are physically separated in a gradient along the radius of a rotating container. A prominent use of gas centrifuges is for the separation of uranium-235 from uranium-238. The gas centrifuge was developed to replace the gaseous diffusion method of uranium-235 extraction. High degrees of separation of these isotopes relies on using many individual centrifuges arranged in cascade, that achieve successively higher concentrations. This process yields higher concentrations of uranium-235 while using significantly less energy compared to the gaseous diffusion process. …<\/p>\n

Modern Zippe-type centrifuges<\/a> are tall cylinders spinning on a vertical axis, with a vertical temperature gradient applied to create a convective circulation rising in the center and descending at the periphery of the centrifuge. Diffusion between these opposing flows increases the separation by the principle of countercurrent multiplication. …<\/p>\n

Effective usage of gas centrifuges were discovered by Pakistan which greatly enhances its capability to produce HEU fuels for both its commercial nuclear power plants and weapons. (Gas centrifuge. Wikipedia, accessed 09\/07\/19)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Iran wants military domination of the Islamic world. Its nuclear program has long been believed to be part of that.<\/p>\n

With its important centrifuge facility in shambles, Iranian leaders must be discussing what to do, and likely how to retaliate, against Israel and\/or the USA for this latest explosion.<\/p>\n

Iran can be dangerous. Iran may well damage Israel (Isaiah 22:1-14) and even the USA (Iran is very upset with the USA because of sanctions and the Trump Administration’s withdrawal of the nuclear deal that the Obama Administration agreed to). But that will not end well for Iran (cf. Jeremiah 49:34-38).<\/p>\n

Jesus warned of a time of wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:4-8) called “the beginning of sorrows.”<\/p>\n

We look to be in this time.<\/p>\n

Jesus also said to “Watch” (Mark 13:37).<\/p>\n

What Iran may do next looks to be something to “watch.”<\/p>\n

The Palestinian President (Mahmoud Abbas) said that this pronouncement eliminated the USA as being a fair mediator for a peace deal. Others have claimed that Donald Trump is an end time Cyrus and his pronouncement will lead to a Third Temple in Jerusalem. Is there ever going to be a peace deal? If so, will Europeans be part of it?
