The world was rocked by a 5.0 magnitude earthquake that occurred thursday close to Iran's nuclear site in Natanz. The Badrud region, which is only 26 kilometers from Natanz, Iran's principal uranium plant, felt the tremor. Another 4.5-magnitude earthquake that struck a few hours later raised concerns about the area's safety. There were no casualty reports, though.
Notably, iran has yet to disclose whether or not this earthquake has harmed its nuclear center. The question of whether iran has produced a nuclear weapon is also being asked in such a scenario.
Fear of an atomic bomb
Iran's weapons-grade uranium stocks have already drawn grave concerns from the international Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Iran possesses enough uranium to produce nuclear bombs, the CIA said in a recent assessment. A high-level conference between the US and israel regarding Iran's nuclear program is planned for next week in Washington. According to experts, the world's largest security crisis could arise if the claims that iran is building nuclear weapons turn out to be accurate.
A new obstacle for the united states and israel
Israel has always been a fierce opponent of Iran's nuclear program and has targeted Iranian nuclear sites with clandestine operations and cyberattacks. israel launched an attack on an S-300 air defense system in the Iranian region of Isfahan last year. The US and israel may now data-face fresh peril following claims of an earthquake or explosion close to Natanz.
Has iran made a nuclear bomb?
The entire Middle east could be in grave danger if it is established that iran has created a nuclear weapon. Iran is already subject to severe economic sanctions from the united states, but if it develops nuclear weapons, it may constitute a serious threat to israel, the united states, and their allies. international peace could be severely damaged, according to experts, if a covert nuclear test or explosion occurs in Natanz.
