Five More Nuclear Facilities Discovered in Iran

Ayatollah Vows: “We Will Make Our Enemies Blind”

The British MI6 agents, who uncovered an underground uranium enrichment plant near the Iranian city of Qom, have discovered five more similar operations in the mountains northern Iran, increasing the number of Iran’s nuclear facilities to seven.


Photos and schematics of the plants have been hand-delivered to Meir Dagan, the head of Mossad. Mr. Dagan has conveyed them to the G20 leaders who were meeting in Pittsburgh.

2nd Facility


The information, according to British reporter Gordon Thomas, was obtained from “an Iranian nuclear scientist’s smuggled laptop, defectors, and satellite imagery.”


The new plants, according to British intelligence, are guarded by members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and staffed by nuclear scientists from the country’s central weapons facility at 180 Western Avenue in the Pars district of eastern Tehran.


M16 remains responsible for gathering most of the intelligence data regarding nuclear developments in Iran for the international intelligence community, including the CIA. Mark Fitzpatrick, head of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, says: “Until MI6 uncovered the truth that Iran had a further clandestine way of producing highly enriched uranium, we had no idea.”


The latest news has served only to heighten the resolve of Iran to enter the elite nuclear club of nations, which now includes the United States, Russian, China, Great Britain, France, India, Israel, and Pakistan.


In Tehran, Ayatollah Khameni, Iran’s supreme leader, authorized his new chief of staff, Mohammadi Golpayegni, to announce: “Our new plant at Qom, God willing, will soon become operational and will make our enemies blind.”

Qom contains one of the holiest sites of the Shiite Muslims – - the shrine of Fatema Maesume, the revered sister of Imam Ali ibn Musa Rida, a great Islamic scholar. A pre-emptive attack on Qom would do much to strengthen a coalition of Shiite and Sunni Muslims against the West.


Over the weekend, Prime Minister Gordon Brown told the opening of the annual Labour Party conference in Brighton that Iran’s attitude “is the serial deception of many years. The international community has no choice but to draw a line in the sand.”


He added that the alternative will lead to confrontation.


England’s Foreign Secretary David Milliband said he would refuse to rule out military action against Iran.

MI6 agents also have uncovered evidence that the Qom plant could house 3,000 centrifuges for enriching uranium – the key element in a nuclear bomb. The five other plants would give the rogue nation a combined capacity of 15,000 centrifuges, far outstripping the 8,000 capacity of the underground plant at Natanz.


Ali Akbar Salehi, Iran’s atomic chief, will head to Geneva this week to head off calls for new economic sanctions by world powers. He will meet with Mohamed el Baradei and other officials from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to argue his case, claiming that Iran has no intention of building a nuclear bomb even though seven nuclear production facilities are now in operation.
