...an underground bunker near the holy city of Qom....

A city so "holy," they install military nuclear facilities. The ROP in a nutshell.

Decision to move machines comes after Iran announces would be shifting production of higher-grade uranium to underground site at Fordow, despite international opposition.

Obviously, the international opposition neglected to send a strongly worded letter and strenuously object. That would have showed 'em.

I have to wonder if their announcement in June, to this, was in response to the “Arab Spring” and Syria (more specifically) protests. Were they anticipating that they could come under attack in the very near future, and needed to protect their work?

I pray one of the early measures President Rick Perry does in early 2013 is to do a lend lease to Israel. I suggest 4 or 5 of our mothballed B-1 bombers and number of our latest ground penetrating munitions. He should treat Iran as a terrorist state and not allow any trade or aid to Iran as well.

Iran likely has enough 20% uranium, that if further refined to 90% would be enough fuel for an atomic weapon. They are holding at 20% and stockpiling at that level to avoid the drastic sanctions that would take place if they refine beyond 20% which is considered weaponization.

They have had substantial problems with their P-1 cascades that are obsolete and constantly being destroyed by the molybdenum in their yellow cake.

However, the molybdenum is gone by the time uranium gets to 20%. So for now they will keep refining to 20% turn that into plates for storage and just keep stockpiling.

Taking 20% uranium to 90% is relatively easy and they could do so in a very small facility. Each cascade would need a room the size of a double garage and the electrical power needed for a refrigerator to produce enough fuel for a bomb in one year.

We need to get used to a nuclear-weaponed Iran that cannot be stopped by us or Israel.

The best tactic is to keep doing what is being done, kill off their best engineers. Having the fuel is one thing, figuring how to deliver it to a target and light it off is quite another problem.

Iran's greatest threat is that it will sell weapons-grade fuel to others like Venezuela and Syria and Burma.......

Now’s the time. Israel? America? Saudis? Any combination? The bunker is right there. They are putting the machines in them, but they are not in yet. Hello?

Looks like disinformation to me.

The Jewish State is going to have to act...and soon.
