While US sources report that the Pentagon is planning a ground operation against Iran, it is stated that special operations units aim to seize uranium in the country. Before Israel and the United States launched a series of airstrikes on Iran in June last year, the country was believed to have more than 400 kilograms of 60 percent enriched uranium and about 200 kilograms of 20 percent fissile material; It was claimed that this substance could be converted into weapons-grade uranium at a rate of 90 percent. Nuclear energy expert Adil Buyan, who gave information to Haber Global Web Özel about these allegations, said that the uranium in Iran’s possession will not be enough to make a nuclear bomb.
NO BOMB POSSIBLE!
Providing information about Iran’s nuclear studies, Buyan said: “All processes are under control; production and storage are carried out in a supervised manner. According to the information we have, it is not possible to reach the 90 percent enrichment level.” Because the fissionable Uranium-235 ratio in uranium is approximately 7 per thousand in its natural state. You can increase this ratio to 10–20 percent by going through several enrichment cycles.. This process is time dependent; The longer you work, the more highly enriched uranium you get. However, it is not possible to make a nuclear bomb with this data.”
IRAN DOES NOT ACCEPT
Stating that the discussion here is an effort to create a suitable justification for intervention, Buyan said: “If there was no nuclear, this time a justification would be found through oil. It is thought that Iran made two big mistakes: The first is to exclude the dollar, and the second is the failure of the American side to get a share from the oil and natural gas produced. There are transitions between the main axis of the issue and the secondary elements. A formula such as enriching uranium up to 60 percent and transferring it to another country was also discussed.. But I don’t think there will be a compromise; The proposals offered by the West are seen as not conciliatory but rather humiliating. “It is historically impossible to impose such proposals on Iranian society.”
USA LAUNCHED IN IRAN
Emphasizing that it was America that initiated and supported Iran’s nuclear program in the 1970s, Buyan gave striking information about Iran’s nuclear history:
“Iran was provided with support for enrichment. Since it was not considered religiously appropriate to build nuclear weapons in Iran, no progress was made in this field during the Khomeini period. After Khomeini’s death, the program regained momentum. The German company Siemens played an important role in nuclear power plant projects in Iran; Withdrew after completing most of the project. Later, the project was transferred to Russia and completed with Russian technology. In other words, the nuclear power plant has a mixed structure with American, German and Russian contributions.”
RUSSIAN PERSONNEL IS WORKING
Stating that nuclear facilities cannot be hit in Iran, Buyan said, “Guided munitions were used to destroy these facilities during the Iraq War, but the main structure of the facilities was not damaged. Because a significant part of the systems are underground. For this reason, it was not possible to completely eliminate the nuclear capacity at that time. Today, a significant number of Russian personnel work in nuclear power plants. The risk of a direct intervention is therefore high; Russia may respond. Although it is difficult to destroy the main reactor, if critical infrastructure such as transformers are targeted, the facility can be rendered inoperable. “A similar method was also applied in Ukraine,” he said.
INDESTRUCTIBLE
Buyan said, “As a result, I think such an operation is largely unrealistic. Currently, an atmosphere of “perception” has been created. As I said before, “We finished the nuclear capacity“It was said; but it is obvious why it is not over: because most of the systems are underground and it is not easy to completely destroy them.”
