A detailed analysis describes the secret Mount Makush nuclear facility as more fortified than the Fordow plant and buried deep beneath a mountain near Natanz. According to the assessment, the US plans a phased strike — first targeting access routes, power, and ventilation systems — before attempting destruction, though a complete demolition may require tactical nuclear bombs.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the secret Mount Makush nuclear facility, with satellite imagery published July 13 revealing its dimensions and ongoing construction. President Trump threatened to strike the site early Tuesday, and a senior Iranian official warned of retaliation.
Tuesday evening, The Zioneer published a detailed analysis of the facility. The analysis describes Mount Makush as buried deeper than the Fordow plant, making a direct strike difficult. It outlines a US plan to first hit access routes, power, and ventilation systems, before attempting destruction. The assessment notes that complete demolition may require tactical nuclear bombs due to the depth and fortifications. The analysis is based on reports from the Mojahedin-e Khalq organization, which previously exposed other Iranian nuclear sites.
