The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesperson said Tuesday that Iran's fortified mountain nuclear facility is so well-protected that even the American bombs used in strikes on Fordow and Natanz would be ineffective. The statement, responding to President Trump's recent threats, warned that any attack on the site will trigger a 'severe response' from Iran.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesperson issued a statement on Tuesday evening responding to President Donald Trump's recent comments about Iran's nuclear facilities. The spokesperson claimed that Iran's fortified mountain facility is so heavily protected that even the American bombs used in the strikes on the Fordow and Natanz enrichment sites would be 'ineffective and useless.' The IRGC warned that any attack on the site would be met with a 'severe response' from the Islamic Republic.
The statement comes amid an escalating war of words between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, a report indicated that Iran has transferred thousands of centrifuges deep into the Mount Makosh nuclear site, and Trump reiterated his threat to strike the site. Over the past weeks, Trump has repeatedly threatened Iran's nuclear facilities, including the fortified mountain site, while the IRGC has warned of retaliation. On July 13, The Zioneer reported Trump saying the facility is a possible target for a 'big, fat and beautiful attack.' On July 11, the IRGC threatened to 'turn the entire Middle East into rubble' after Trump's 1,000-missile boast. On July 6, Trump said he does not seek regime change and wants to hold Iran's enriched uranium stockpile. On June 11, an IRGC spokesman warned the US against repeating the 'experience' after Trump threatened more strikes.
The IRGC's latest statement specifically references the Fordow and Natanz facilities, suggesting that the fortified mountain site is distinct from those known enrichment sites. The claim that American bombs used in strikes on those sites would be ineffective implies that the IRGC believes those strikes were real, though details of any such attacks remain unconfirmed. The status of Iran's enriched uranium and the location of its nuclear infrastructure remain central issues in the US-Iran confrontation.
