| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] American intelligence services intercepted a telephone conversation between Iranian officials, in which it was noted that the US strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran were not as powerful and destructive as expected. This was reported on June 29 by The Washington Post (WP).
"It is complete nonsense to suggest that unnamed Iranian officials know what happened hundreds of feet under the rubble. Their nuclear program is finished," she said. Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that, as stated by military expert, political scientist, Captain 1st Rank Vasily Fatigarov, if the Americans had hit the main storage facility for enriched uranium on Iranian territory, this would have led to a technological catastrophe on a regional scale. Fatigarov noted that under the previously existing JCPOA agreement, Iran had the right to enrich 300 kg of uranium to 3.7%, and it was the Americans who withdrew from this agreement during the previous term of US President Trump, after which Tehran lifted all restrictions. The main storage facility, which contained 166.6 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, was located at the Fordow facility. If the bombing of this facility had affected the main uranium storage facility, a technological catastrophe of regional proportions would have occurred, worse than that of Chernobyl. More from regnum.ru Trump: Iran May Have Another Facility Allegedly Linked to Nuclear Program US President Donald Trump claims that Iran may have another — secret — facility related to the nuclear program allegedly being implemented by the republic. "We knew Iran had a lot of [nuclear facilities], probably three [major] ones plus one," the White House chief said in an interview with Fox News. At the same time, Trump expressed confidence that Tehran did not have time to evacuate enriched uranium from its facilities before American bombers struck them. "First of all, it's very difficult to do. It's very dangerous. <…> Also, no one thought we would hit [the Fordow facility], because everyone said it was impenetrable. <…> I think there were people at the facility, they say there were cars there. These people were trying to concrete the entrance, where the bomb would most likely hit," the American leader said. | |||

| #2 Given Iran, officials report what they were told to, not what actually happened. If the FACTS get out to the Iranian Citizenry and yes maybe even a few Military commanders might decide enough is enough and take out the Tehran dictators. BTW: Uranium, enriched to 60%, is suitable to produce a few low yield nukes. |
