Iran May Run Centrifuges at Fortified Site, AP Reports
ABC News ^ | March 26, 2015 | By GEORGE JAHN and MATTHEW LEE

The United States is considering letting Tehran run hundreds of centrifuges at a once-secret, fortified underground bunker in exchange for limits on centrifuge work and research and development at other sites, officials have told The Associated Press.

The trade-off would allow Iran to run several hundred of the devices at its Fordo facility, although the Iranians would not be allowed to do work that could lead to an atomic bomb and the site would be subject to international inspections, according to Western officials familiar with details of negotiations now underway. In return, Iran would be required to scale back the number of centrifuges it runs at its Natanz facility and accept other restrictions on nuclear-related work.

Instead of uranium, which can be enriched to be the fissile core of a nuclear weapon, any centrifuges permitted at Fordo would be fed elements such as zinc, xenon or germanium for separating out isotopes used in medicine, industry or science, the officials said.

It may be fortified, but I’ll bet it could be made inaccessible. Drop enough of the right ordinance on it, and it wouldn’t be used for a long time.

Correction: The United States Barrack Hussein Obama is considering letting Tehran run hundreds of centrifuges at a once-secret, fortified underground bunker

Congress needs to remember their constitutional powers and duties.

Iran claims the nuke stuff is only for common use.

However, WE KNOW YOU DON’T NEED CENTRIFUGES - UNLESS YOU WANT A BOMB.

So, this admin is either totally ignorant or is willfully helping Iran get THE BOMB.

I vote for the latter.

Or collecting some, he's always on the look-out for a well-heeled partner.

So does that mean they won't be calling for “Death To America” anymore. At least for now?

Nothing demonstrates a "peaceful nuclear program" quite like hiding it is secret bombproof bunkers.

Those doofuses in the White Hut are going to start World War 3 -- if they haven't already.

For nuke energy .. YOU DON’T NEED CENTRIFUGES.

THAT’S WHAT NETANYAHU SAID PUBLICALLY.
I was only repeating what HE said.

So why would a nuclear scientist say 5000 centrifuges would be enough ..??????

Fordo, Arak, Ardakan, Bushehr, Chalus, Isfahan, Lashkar Abad, Lavizan and Lavizan-3, and Natanz should all be destroyed. If we won’t do it, we should at least permit (help?!) Israel to do so.

The alternative is Iranian nukes destroying Israel and killing millions of Jews, followed eventually by Iran nuking at least a few cities in the United States. We shouldn’t tell Obama about that danger, or he’ll never allow the Iranian nuke program to be stopped.

Well, good question...I heard him say that 5000 centrifuges is not enuff for a nuclear energy program, but more than enuff for a bomb. Mmmm so why are we allowing this?

OKAY, let me explain this one more time:

You don’t need to enrich uranium to have nuclear energy; you never have.

If you are enriching uranium, YOU ARE MAKING A BOMB.

The only way you get enriched uranium IS BY USING CENTRIFUGES.

GET IT!!

Why is this so hard for people to understand.

So, if Netanyahu has nukes already, I would surmise he knows what it takes to make bombs/or not to make bombs. When HE says it takes centrifuges to make bombs - then I believe him.

We’re allowing this because our current admin hates Israel and they want to help Iran get a bomb - thinking it will be some sort of deterrent to Israel bombing Iran (that’s what they want the world to believe) - when actually, Iran WANTS THE BOMB SO THEY CAN BOMB ISRAEL.

Simple.
