Tehran would be allowed to maintain Fordo facility, as long as it allows inspection and doesn’t pursue an atomic bomb.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — 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.

Obama Aide: People don’t want Iran to have centrifuges!
Obama: Let’s reveal that Israel has nukes, then Iran will have a reason to have a nuke!
Bib isn’t gonna wait much longer... I have a feeling a bunch of scientists and technicians are going to meet their virgins before long.
You don’t need centrifuges UNLESS YOU WANT TO BUILD A BOMB.
ADMIN’S TOTAL IGNORANCE; OR WILLFUL BLINDNESS?
The “deal” keeps getting better and better...
...for Iran.
This is all aimed at wiping Israel off the map. Barry's hatred for Israel trumps all else.
Enthusiastic complicity.
Admin’s treason. Like I always said: When it comes to the government there is two sides to every story: What they allow you to know and what they don’t allow you to know. Absolutely no reason Iran needs centrifuges, yet the Regime wants them to have centrifuges. Why? Treason, so Iran can get nukes.
I don’t disagree with that.
But, I was speaking of the Nuke issue only.
In the US we use centrifuges in commercial operations for power plants, no bombs involved.

It can be used for bomb making, but not the only use.
Really? Then why would Netanyahu say you don’t need centrifuges - unless you want to have a bomb?
Why on earth would he say that ..??
Because you could pay someone else to enrich your fuel, using a centrifuge or a gaseous diffusion method (which is more expensive).
So I was right .. you don’t have to have the centrifuges; you can have somebody else enrich the uranium for you.
Which proves that IRAN wants the bomb.
This may help you understand the issue.
In 2007, 72 percent of all enrichment was done by centrifuge plants and only 28 by gaseous diffusion. By 2017 centrifuges are projected to account for 96 percent of all uranium enrichment activity .
Current centrifuge facilities have been built ostensibly to enrich uranium for nuclear reactors. Centrifuges present a proliferation danger because precisely the same machines that produce low enriched uranium fuel for a nuclear reactor can produce highly enriched uranium suitable for nuclear weapons. Even a modest centrifuge plant, one sized to fuel a single nuclear power plant, can produce enough HEU for about twenty bombs in a year. The difference between a military and a civilian enrichment plant is just how the machines are piped together in cascades. This means that a fuel plant could quickly be converted into a weapon plant. Moreover, if the starting material for a bomb program were not natural uranium, but fuel-grade uranium that has been stockpiled, then the time to further enrich the uranium to bomb-grade would be reduced by more than 65 percent.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Centrifuge Enrichment Plants

Uranium enrichment is one step in the process of manufacturing fuel for nuclear reactors.
But commercial centrifuges are commonly used to produce only power reactor fuel. Bomb creation is certainly not their only use.
I am not argueing that Iran needs this capability. Centrifuges are a normal part of the nuclear power industry.
