Israel calls on world powers to stop Iran nuclear talks immediately

Israel called on world powers to stop Iran nuclear talks immediately after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Wednesday that Iran had started the process of enriching uranium up to 20% purity with one cascade, or cluster, of 166 advanced IR-6 machines at its Fordow plant (pictured ), dug into a mountain.

(Reuters) – Israel on Thursday called on world powers to halt their nuclear negotiations with Iran immediately, citing a U.N. watchdog’s announcement that Tehran has started producing enriched uranium with more advanced centrifuges.

“Iran is carrying out nuclear blackmail as a negotiating tactic, and this should be answered by the immediate halt to negotiations and the implementation of tough steps by the world powers,” Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s office quoted him as saying in a call with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Wednesday that Iran had started the process of enriching uranium up to 20% purity with one cascade, or cluster, of 166 advanced IR-6 machines at its Fordow plant, dug into a mountain.

Iran and major powers are trying to revive a 2015 deal under which Tehran limited its nuclear programme in exchange for relief from U.S., E.U. and U.N. economic sanctions.

            It should be remembered that also in past cases, the Iranians have tried to obscure the damage caused to nuclear facilities.
            We will wait to see what the situation is this time.
            The information is still preliminary

            A new Iranian version of sources identified with the regime:
            “This is an experiment by the Iranian air defense systems against a possible threat”

            Governor of Natanz: I can say with certainty that no casualties were caused to life or property.
            The full details of the investigation will be released tomorrow

            An interesting report, from sources affiliated with the Iranian opposition, tells, tonight, about the evacuations of three villages: Shaja’a-Abad, Ja’far-Abad and Ahmad-Abad near the Natanz nuclear site
            Moreover: reports of power outages in the Natanz area

            The report of the evacuation is causing a stir on social media in Iran: Is it due to a fear of radioactive radiation leaking from the Natanz site?

            The Iranian regime has an established reputation for publishing lies, with regard to explosions at sensitive sites as well as the operation of air defense systems (for example after the downing of the Ukrainian passenger plane in the skies of Tehran almost two years ago).
            We almost always witness different versions, from officials, in the first hours after the event and sometimes after a few days a completely different truth becomes clear.
            Here is the chronological sequence of the Iranian versions yesterday after the explosion in the Netanz area became known:
            Initially, Iranian media reported an explosion in the area surrounding the nuclear facility
            Later it changed to “explosion in the skies of Netanz”.
            Iranian Fars news agency later reported: Iranian air defense systems were activated against aircraft.
            And finally the version that the Iranian army conducted a missile test near the Netanz nuclear facility.
            I will further note that the task of securing the nuclear facilities is under the responsibility of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and not under the Iranian military.
            And how was this conducted a missile launch exercise in an area inhabited by civilians near such a sensitive facility?
            There is an established feeling that the Iranians are hiding much more than they are discovering

            Iran – Dropped UAV

            Iranian official media report this morning on a UAV located in the area of the village of Mia Kohrang.
            The Iranian media publish the UAV rescue video but are careful not to provide any other details on the matter.
            The place where the UAV is located, according to Iranian advertising, is about 170 km away from the Nantenz nuclear site https://t.me/abualiexpress/32185 https://t.me/abualiexpress/32186

            Iranian opposition source: At least 5 foreign UAVs were in the skies of the Natanz nuclear facility last night for 40 minutes
            Sources affiliated with the Iranian opposition reveal what they claims happened last night in the skies of the nuclear facility.
            According to the sources, more than 5 foreign aircraft have been in the skies of the nuclear facility for a long time (about 40 minutes). The air defense systems deployed in the area (Iranian Bore 373 and Russia-made S-300) failed in their attempts to shoot down the aircraft and the missiles fired at the aircraft landed in the area surrounding the nuclear facility, instead of hitting the target.
            The source added that the foreign aircraft were engaged in a “espionage mission” – close documentation of what was happening at and around the nuclear facility (deployment of military forces).
            Following the failure to shoot down the aircraft, members of the Revolutionary Guards operated high-intensity electronic warfare systems in another attempt to shoot down the aircraft, resulting in widespread communications and Internet disruption in the nuclear facility area.
            The source added that the Russian defense system S300 failed in its function because the Russians did not transfer all its components to the Iranians
