Iran developing nuclear weapons at THIS secret location near Pakistan? Satellite imagery reveals SHOCKING details, the site is located in…
Iran nuclear weapons: While the global focus has shifted on the nuclear capabilities of India and Pakistan in wake of the ongoing conflict between the two enemy states, latest reports have made shocking revelations about Iran nuclear weapons program, which has sparked panic among security agencies around the world, especially in Tehran’s arch nemesis, Israel, and its staunch ally, the United States.
Iran’s secret nuclear facility uncovered
According to reports, satellite imagery has revealed that Iran has built a secret nuclear weapons site, around 1300 kms away from its border with Pakistan, where the Islamic nation has been reportedly developing state-of-the-art nuclear weaponry for an unspecified yet prolonged period of time.
The site, codenamed “Rangi Kaman” or Rainbow Site, was identified using satellite imagery and classified intelligence documents, sending security agencies worldwide into a tizzy. As per reports, the Rangi Kaman site is spread over about 2,500 acres in the Ivanaki (Eyvanekey) region in Semnan Province, northern Iran, southeast of the capital, Tehran.
Hiding in plain sight
Reports revealed that the Ivanaki facility essentially hides in plain sight by masquerading as a chemical factory, officially operated by Diba Energy Sina. However, the chemical production is merely a cover for the site’s true purpose– nuclear weapons research. The Ivanaki site, which has reportedly been operational since 2013, is among the several covert facilities established after Iran’s previous nuclear weapons programme, the Amad Plan, was halted after it was exposed in 2003.
The Rainbow site is covertly managed and operated by Iran’s Organisation of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPND), and is designed in such a manner that it remains completely hidden to the outside world, even duping observers who monitor Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Reports claim the Ivanaki facility’s primary purpose is to develop long-range nuclear weapons, and based on intelligence reports, its believed that Iran may be developing thermonuclear weapons, aka the hydrogen bomb, at this site. The facility is reportedly being used to process Tritium, a radioactive gas which exponentially enhances the destructive yield of thermonuclear weapons .
What’s inside the mysterious Ivanaki facility?
As per satellite images and intelligence reports, the ‘Rainbow Site’ comprises of three factory-like units, a command headquarters and a high-security checkpoint. The entire area surrounding the facility is heavily guarded by elite units of Iran’s military, apart from the IRGC Aerospace Force having deployed a Qadir long-range radar and missile defence unit nearby.
The entry of civilians is restricted, and the project was started in 2009, while nuclear research began here in 2013, according to Iranian opposition group National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
As per the NCRI, the Iranian regime has set up at least five shell companies to make this advanced nuclear weapons site appear like any normal industry. This method has successfully hidden the secret nuclear site from international surveillance, and helped Iran avoid sanctions, they claim.
Iran’s nuclear doctrine
Notably, Iran has repeatedly asserted that its nuclear program is meant for peaceful purposes, however, amidst rising tensions and the seismic shift in the power balance in the Middle East, as well as the looming threat of a full-scale Iran-Israel war, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is facing increasing pressure from several high-power corners in the country to lift the ban imposed on developing nuclear weapons.
As per reports, top commanders of Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have urged Ayatollah Khamenei to withdraw his fatwa which bars Tehran from using its nuclear capabilities to develop nuclear weapons.
