Iran 'building bomb-proof nuclear site'

"Information we have from inside the regime indicates the site is destined for military nuclear activity, mainly for the further enrichment of uranium," Mehdi Abrichamtchi, of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said in Paris.

The new site in central Iran consists of a "vast underground area beneath the Karkass mountains linked to the surface by two tunnels and connecting with a third tunnel" to the Natanz nuclear complex 5km away, Mr Abrichamtchi said.

"The site is protected against aerial attack. If Natanz is bombed, it won't be touched," he said. "To maintain secrecy, the area has been declared a military zone, and the regime has bought up all the local land."

The NCRI is the political arm of the People's Mujahideen of Iran, which has been declared a terrorist organisation by the US and the EU.

Underground, heavily fortified, secret...

Yeah, their nukes are for electricity. Anyone who still believes that is lobotomized.

It’s time for Bush to make the call.

Maybe the radiation won’t get out when they conduct their first “experiment”.

I bet our weapon makers have already made the bomb that could take it out.

Like this is news?

[Tarpon]

Their weakness is the transporter isn’t available yet.

I have a feeling before too long, the U.S. and Israel be kicking their carcasses all across the Karkasses.

I'm almost certain that they have, but the residual radiation could be a bit of a touchy PR issue. Not that I think that should deter us.

Bomb it now while it’s still in the process of being built.

I found this place on google Earth. The above ground facility is ringed by anti-aircraft batteries.

So there’s not a single bomb in our arsenal or in Israel’s arsenal that can touch it? Not a ***single*** one?

Google, Bunker Buster, we have the weapons, we need the backbone.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

The above ground facility is ringed by anti-aircraft batteries.

Most likely, RUSSIAN MADE anti-aircraft batteries.

Nothing is bomb proof.

Absolutely right....moreso, there are only a half-dozen structures on the planet that are nuclear weapon proof....and Iran doesn't have one.

We still have the "dial-a-yield" Pershing II penetrator warhead that is perfect for busting bunkers. We just need to update the warhead and screw it on to a delivery system.

Man...I miss those Pershing IIs...it was said that the missile crews could drop the warhead into the Soviet PM's afternoon Tea through a window if the ballon ever went up.

Not that I think that should deter us.

It certainly would deter the Euroweenies...it very probably would deter us....but it won't cause a moment's hesitation on the part of Israel.
