Some experts see Iran's attack on Israel as an opportunity to attack Iran's nuclear program. Iran operates several centrifuges in which uranium is enriched.
Since last October alone, 23.5 kilograms of up to 60 percent enriched uranium are said to have been produced in the underground facilities. According to experts, the mullahs' regime is close to developing a nuclear bomb. The country has enough radioactive material for at least three nuclear bombs. The regime could build the first one within a few months, experts say. The Fordo nuclear facility near the city of Qom is located deep underground and is strictly guarded. A limited strike would perhaps set the program back, but not destroy it, IISS expert Fabian Hinz tells CNN. He fears that this could only motivate Iran to complete a military nuclear weapons program. It has been known since 2003 that the Islamic Republic is enriching uranium. But since the U.S. withdrew from the agreement, Iran is no longer sticking to its terms.
