New report exposes intact Iranian bunker that may hide regime's ongoing nuclear work
Built 2010 to 2017. Untouched in two wars. The bunker still sits at Natanz.
Summary
- Fox News reports the Institute for Science and International Security located a partially below-ground bunkered building at Natanz that it says was likely meant to store uranium hexafluoride for large-scale enrichment.
- The institute says the structure was built between 2010 and 2017, mostly from 2015 to 2017, and 'does not appear to have been targeted in the military actions of either 2025 or 2026.'
- Since the June 2025 war, available satellite imagery has shown no vehicle activity at the site. A separate April ISIS paper said Iran nearly doubled its 60% enriched stock from December 2024 to June 2025.
- The institute's lesson: any temporary enrichment ban must include dismantlement, not a pause that leaves the bunker ready for the day the paper expires.
Commentary
A machinist still wipes coolant off a cracked wrist and knows what a sealed room is for. He did not pay two wars so a 2017 bunker could sit dark and intact.
That is the gap. 2010 to 2017. Untouched in 2025. Untouched in 2026. Doubled 60% stock in six months. The honest sailor already paid the sortie. The bunker paid nothing.
Ask every working mother who still packs a kit for a night siren: if the camera shows no cars and the roof is still there, who still owns the centrifuge?
Comments
No vehicles since June 2025 is not proof of empty. It is proof of patience.
I bombed what I was told to bomb. A 2017 bunker left standing is a second war waiting.
ISIS named UF6 storage. 2010-2017 build. Not targeted. Read the paper.
Allied ports still price a 60% stockpile. A pause without dismantlement is a gift.
Dec. 2024 to June 2025: stock nearly doubled. File the half-year.
I still wipe a mill. A dark bunker is a night shift for the wrong country.
A sealed room that survived two wars is not a museum. It is a fuse.
Dismantle or it restarts. There is no third option that keeps a tanker cheap.
Fox printed 2010-2017, untouched twice, and a doubled 60% stock. Argue those nouns.
Map it. Crack it. Do not lease it a pause. The bunker is not a metaphor.
