Satellite Photos Show Suspected Secret Iranian Nuclear Weapons Site
Satellite images exclusively obtained by [Newswire Name] allegedly reveal a clandestine Iranian nuclear weapons facility, according to an opposition group. The claim is surfacing amidst ongoing negotiations between Tehran and the U.S. government.
The purported site, situated in Semnan Province, is located far from Iran’s known nuclear locations. The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) asserts that intelligence from within Iran indicates a sprawling complex spanning nearly 2,500 acres.
Reportedly dubbed the “Rainbow Site” by Iranian officials, the facility has been operational for over a decade, camouflaged as a chemical production company named Diba Energy Siba.
NCRI sources claim the primary function of the Rainbow Site is tritium extraction. Tritium, a radioactive isotope, is used to enhance nuclear weapons. Its lack of peaceful applications raises doubts about Iran’s claims that its nuclear program is solely for energy or civilian use.
These revelations surface during sensitive negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. When questioned about the U.S. stance on Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, the President stated that a decision had not yet been made.
Despite this intelligence, senior officials express optimism. The Vice President stated on Tuesday that the talks are progressing positively.
The Vice President stated that without prejudging the negotiation, the talks have been proceeding well, and the Iranian response to U.S. points has been satisfactory.
The discovery of the Rainbow Site has the potential to add complexity to the sensitive diplomacy surrounding Iran’s nuclear capabilities and a possible renewed agreement.
