Just thinking logically.
If IDF even suspected these trucks were hauling uranium away, they would be whipped out instantly.

“Situated 2,500 feet beneath the mountains near Qom....”

He’s only off by ~2200 feet.

Seems to me highly enriched uranium radiates enough energy that satellites could easily spot it if it were transported above ground in trucks.

Thanks for posting this. It has been my opinion all along because I could not see the likelihood of moving their most cherished potential weapon from its most secure location to a less secure one. In fact, at one point, I was convinced that the Supreme Leader was also holed up there.

Iran’s shiite mahdi had his well shot to hell.
Ayatoilet and mullahs are so pissed that they’re putting out kill fatwas on Trump and Netanyahu daily. All they have left is their fartwa blabber.

[mairdie]

Well written article with a sensible analysis.

[Brian Griffin]

It would be a smarter thing to hide 18 containers in an area the size of Texas instead of leaving them in a place likely to be bombed and bombed successfully.

With modern radiation detection equipment satellites would be able to track that material if it was being moved on the surface.

Compare ~30% down of this:

to ~80% down of this:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-868e3c3d-25ec-43cb-bcc0-8832464b91ca

The US dropped the bunker busters to strike offset from and below the ridgelines, so the explosions were probably at about the right level and off to the side, which would likely make the centrifuges the Iranians still had at Fordow inoperable since they would wobble way too much.

I am glad this article was posted. I have seen multiple articles on Facebook saying the satellite imagery is proof all of Fordow’s enriched uranium was moved before the bombing. Comments about these Facebook posts were telling how much Trump was a fool and a liar. Some said it justifies impeachment.

I believe the success of the bombings of Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan should merit President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize. Why? Because it eliminated the ability of Iran to murder millions of people.

“...2,500 feet beneath the mountains...”
-
It gets deeper and deeper every-time someone reports on it.
Kinda like a fisherman telling about that big fish he caught one time...

[hecticskeptic]

These shafts are the known weak points in any deeply buried complex, where pressure and airflow must meet engineering limits, but where adversaries might also insert precision-guided munitions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ll ask a question again that I asked a few days ago.... What possessed the Iranians to think that a vertical shaft for ventilation was a good idea?

[catnipman]

“It is a subterranean stronghold. Situated 2,500 feet beneath the mountains”

bullshit: fordow facility is about 300 feet below the surface ...

[Tymesup]

Article assumes Iran cares about possible criticality. Article assumes Iran cares about worker safety, I think they could get volunteers, even if they had to lie about this.

Iran took this seriously enough to try to reinforce the facility. Why wouldn’t they try to move some of the uranium out of the facility, giving them two chances to preserve some of it?

What stopped Iran from predicting the strike well in advance? Or secreting some of the uranium on general principles? 900 kg is a lot to move all at once. One kg at a time, not so much. Maybe they built Fordow to attract attention, while they squirrel uranium all over the place.

[Shortstop7]

Nah. Not buying it.

[the mountains near Qom]

The Twelfth Imam was unavailable for comment.

The 12th Imam Mahdi is only about....1,156 years old....here in 2025

Fordow - near the city of Qom, Iran, and the Jamkaran Mosque of the 12th Imam down in the well...(LOL) [the apocalyptic mullahs suddenly armed with a nuclear weapon that would allow them to trigger the End of Days they believe are a necessary predicate to the coming of the Mahdi]

[There is no way to reason with Iranian Twelvers - Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a Twelver though he's not in power anymore]

Jamkaran Mosque at night (Qom, Iran)





Meanwhile, out back, the faithful Iranian Shia Muslims drop notes down a deep well to the 12th Imam - the Mahdi - believed to have disappeared in 874 A.D. and currently alive and hiding in a deep well behind the Jamakaran Mosque in the city of Qom, Iran. (According to their legend)

Twelver Shia Islam legend - Muhammed al-Mahdi disappeared in 874 A.D. (He was FIVE (5) years old at the time of his disappearance)

Muhammed al-Mahdi was born in 869 A.D.

Note:

One of the most significant pilgrimage sites associated with the Hidden Imam is the Jamkaran Mosque near Qom, Iran. Local belief holds that the twelfth Imam is spiritually present there, and many Shia faithful visit the mosque and its well to pray and drop written requests for help, hoping the Imam will read them and intercede on their behalf.

Those three Chinese 747’s that appeared a day or two before the strike weren’t there for diplomacy.

[CodeToad]

So, these pinheads first off have no data to suggest it stayed intact.

These pinheads also want to brag it is a fortified underground bunker only being used for peaceful purposes.

Idiots.
