Iran, months away (or even weeks according to some) from producing its first nuclear weapon, recently suffered a severe setback. This was the near total destruction of its flagship nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz. Iran, constantly threatening to “wipe Israel off the map”, has had their nuclear ambitions set back at least 9 months, if not more. Israel has vowed not to let Iran develop a nuclear weapon.

This comes against the backdrop of reports that the Biden administration is planning to unfreeze 7 billion dollars in Iran’s assets (in addition to the removal of crippling sanctions) in order to return to Obama’s 2015 failed nuclear accords.

Israel has had much experience in preventing hostile nations from receiving the bomb. In 1981, Israel destroyed Iraq’s nuclear reactor. In 2007, Syria’s secret nuclear reactor was also destroyed. In both of those cases, the countries had concentrated their nuclear power in one location, all above ground. Iran tried to learn from their neighbors’ mistakes by building below ground facilities in fortified bunkers in several locations throughout the country, forcing Israel to get creative.

In 2007 Iran’s program was set back many years by the famous stuxnet virus, which Israel planted into its central computer system. Iran then decided that it was too dangerous to have all of its nuclear program controlled by one vulnerable computer, so the system was decentralized with multiple computer systems. Even so, Iran had one major vulnerability; the plant received its electricity from outside powerlines. The electricity is used to spin the thousands of centrifuges, which converts uranium gases into nuclear fuel. If the electricity had been cut while the centrifuges were spinning at high speeds, the sudden loss of power would cause the fast-moving machines to lose balance, spin apart into shrapnel, and destroy all of the machines with a domino effect.

Iranian centrifuge machines which enrich the uranium needed to build a nuclear bomb.

To protect itself, Iran built an underground battery system which would allow the centrifuges to continue running in case of a power failure. In a daring operation, not only did Israel knock out the power above ground, but a bomb was somehow successfully planted on the battery below ground (in one of Iran’s most secure locations). When the power from above ground was out, the bomb was denotated underground and two thirds of the facility was completely destroyed, while the other third was severely damaged. This followed the assassination of Iran’s chief nuclear scientist, as well as Israel’s stealing of the country’s most secure nuclear documents, which Israeli agents spirited out of the country. Subsequently, Prime Minister Netanyahu presented these documents on live television to a stunned world, proving that Iran’s nuclear program was never intended for the peaceful purposes they claimed it would be.

As much as this was meant to be a strong message to Iran, Israel was also sending a message to the Biden administration (currently trying to get Iran to “abide” by the terms of the 2015 deal). While President Obama did not take Israel’s fears into consideration, he at least kept Israel informed at all stages of the negotiations. Since Israel publicly opposed the deal (with the Prime Minister actively lobbying Congress to oppose the Obama plan) Biden thought it would be easier if Israel wasn’t provided information with which they could “harm” the process. This attack was a warning to the administration that if Israel was not included in the process, Israel would not hesitate to act alone. According to reports, the attack has led the US to return to briefing Israel on Iranian negotiations.
