Iran’s 'insurance policy'? Secret underground nuclear site takes shape
Ynet, ^ | 07.05.26

Posted on 07/05/2026 2:14:37 AM PDT by Words Matter

New satellite images show activity at 'Pickaxe Mountain,' an underground site in the Zagros Mountains where IAEA inspectors have not been allowed to visit, even as Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow show little movement after last year’s US strikes

“The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms that it will not seek or develop nuclear weapons. The Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program.” These are two clauses in the memorandum of understanding signed by Iran and the United States, but new satellite images of a secret site are raising questions over whether Tehran truly intends to uphold the agreement.

What do you think Trump will do if we see hard evidence? Better yet what do think Israel will do?

Bomb it today.

Drop the bridges.

Bomb the electricity turbines.

Send them back to the Stone Age.

They earned it.

Sorry Persians.

You missed your opportunity for a revolution.

It is not at all clear that Israel has the kind of capability that the U.S. does to hit hardened sites. You do not really have to destroy everything buried that deep. Just loosen the rock around the tunnel entrance and bury it for a while. If it is radioactive, trapped heat will do its work in time. If not, simply bury the salvage party from time to time, to discourage them. Or insert booby trapped bombs with that will go off months later if left undisturbed, instantly if tampered with.

Perhaps Iran has seen the handwriting on the wall. This appears to be the likely future for the muslime world...

In the end the rats are wiped from the nest or Iran will have a nuclear weapon. The terrorists will not reform nor will they be scared straight.

Iran is much closer to having nukes, which it will use without any thought, than Germany or Japan ever were.

"...questions over whether Tehran truly intends to uphold the agreement"

Was there really any doubt?

Seems like the time has come & almost gone & the pepople in control in Iran just want to continue to lie to us. I think we know what is needed here is rather clear & the only question remaining is how to accomplish what needs to be done without harming the honest citizenry.

President Trump averted a nuclear attack already, but a nuclear attack may be coming in the future. And it's not because of the Western world. We've had nuclear weapons since 1945 when we used them to end WWII but have not used them since and all plans to use them are contingency plans to respond to others using them first.

On the other hand, the Ayatollahs absolutely WILL use them if they get them because they believe they are on a mission from their god to do so.

Do some here actually believe you can read about an Iran nuke site on this forum that the Admin does not already know about?
