According to the source, the site spans more than 2,500 acres and has been in operation for over a decade.
On Thursday, Fox News released new satellite images revealing a covert Iranian nuclear weapons facility, according to an exclusive report. This facility is situated in Semnan Province, located in northern Iran. Iranian authorities have referred to it as the "Rainbow Site" and have disguised its true purpose by labeling it a chemical production company called "Diba Energy Siba."
According to the source, the site spans more than 2,500 acres and has been in operation for over a decade. The US source, referencing the Network Contagion Research Institute, stated that the facility's main purpose is to extract tritium. Defined by Oxford Languages as a "radioactive isotope of hydrogen," tritium is also noted in the Fox News report for its use in enhancing nuclear weapons.
The revelation from Fox News emerges just days after Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic, stated, “As a founding signatory to the NPT [Non-Proliferation Treaty], Iran has every right to possess the full nuclear fuel cycle.” This suggests that Iran believes it should be permitted to continue enriching uranium, even in the context of a deal with the United States.
According to an unnamed Iranian official cited by Iran's Nournews, a fourth round of nuclear talks between Iran and the US is scheduled for Sunday in Oman. This report includes contributions from Seth J. Frantzman and Reuters.
