Report: It could take 'at least 9 months' to restore Natanz nuclear facility
[YNet] - It could take "at least nine months" to restore Iran's underground Natanz nuclear facility following a mysterious power outage that struck the site just hours after new advanced centrifuges were restarted there, according to a report published Monday.

...According to the report, the power failure was caused by a deliberately planned explosion, which "completely destroyed the heavily protected internal power system that supplies the underground centrifuges that enrich uranium".

...The incident occurred during U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's visit to Israel where he met with Defense Minister Benny Gantz. Austin failed to mention the Iranian threat during his press conference speech.

#4 Austin failed to mention the Iranian threat during his press conference speech.

Asshole. This is the moron who rants about "white supremacism" and "extremists" overwhelming the US military

#5 /\ His game is pretty obvious. He's the newly appointed captain of WOKE.

Please set the diplodink 'happy talk' aside for a moment.

How long until we learn Austin's main mission on the recent visit to Israel was to quietly inform them 'further acts of aggression against Iran' could derail the renewal of the Obama-Iran peace plan, and to 'back off' ?

#13 If the new centrifuges had started uo, does that mean the building is contaminated with 20% concentrated uranium gas that escaped?

#15 ^ Indeed. Brother Jimmy is a man of many talents. From the article re the $1.5 billion Iraqi Reconstruction sweetheart deal:

“He knows how to deal with government officials; that’s his skill,” Irvin Richter, co-founder of Hill International, which is tied to HillStone, told Fox Business in 2012 when explaining James Biden’s role. “He makes people from foreign countries comfortable we’re not going to steal their money. ... After all, he’s also been with his brother a long time.”
