Nukes and #iran, what could be done to stop that (by #USA or #Israel)?
With a high chance of a kinetic outcome to the Iran #nuclear ambitions, lets see what could happen.

Allow me to boringly present the results of armchair-ing and sim using @CommandDevTeam (long thread!) : twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@CommandDevTeam Lets understand the criteria for mission accomplished. I assume the following:
a) Nuclear Material Stocks are split between two hardened and well defended Fuel Enrichment Plants (FEP)
b) These two are assumed to be the hardened underground facilites at #Natanz and #Fordow
@CommandDevTeam Natanz is located at 33°43′30″N 51°43′30″E and hardened, underground and strongly defended by Anti Air Artillery (AAA) and Surface to Air Missles (SAM).

Statement by France 🇫🇷, #Germany 🇩🇪, the United Kingdom🇬🇧, and the United States 🇺🇸 on the IAEA`s Latest Report on #Iran`s Nuclear Program.

"We, the governments of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, take note of the report by the International"

Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA) that Iran has implemented a substantial change in the configuration of some of its centrifuges without informing the Agency in advance. These centrifuges produce high-enriched uranium up to 60% and are located at the #Fordow Enrichment Plant.
3/
As stated by the Agency, this unnotified change is inconsistent with #Iran's obligations under its #NPT-required Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement. Such lack of required notification undermines the Agency’s ability to maintain timely detection at Iran’s nuclear facilities.

In 2018, the “Nuclear Archive” seized by #Israel MOSSAD revealed secret documents including blueprints of the #Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant related to #Iran indigenous #nuclear weapon program. In this Collaboration with @TheIntelLab we present fordow in 3d as never seen before.

Important note on #Fordow. You can inject gas for... 1) enriching uranium with uranium gas (clear JCPOA breach) 2) injecting surrogate gas like sulphur into centrifuges for mechanical testing (not a JCPOA breach) 3) for isotope production which Iran is allowed to do there 1/2
My understanding is @HassanRouhani was not clear which one they were doing.But my understanding also that #Iran hasn't (with Russia help) finished transforming machines for isotope production and using surrogate gas wld contaminate centrifuges. So uranium enrichment makes sense-2
@HassanRouhani This according to Iran's IRNA is text of @HassanRouhani remarks. Nowhere here does Rouhani say Iran will start enriching uranium. Only injecting gas. Again, it is very likely Iran is going to start enriching uranium -- why else wld it announce this as latest step? but 3/4
