TEHRAN: Iran's uranium enrichment facilities, built in underground bunkers, would survive any military strikes, Iran's nuclear programme director said on Tuesday. "The enrichment facilities, particularly Natanz, are located underground and no offensive could damage them," said Gholamreza Aghazadeh, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, quoted by the student ISNA news agency. Aghazadeh also boasted about the fortress like nature of its Isfahan plant, which is located in a network of subterranean tunnels, and touted Iran's uranium supplies. "Our reserves are extremely developed. We can extract uranium from mines in Bandar Abbas, Saghand and Yazd," he said.
| Possibly they will survive. But if we do it right, the people who run them won't. |
