‘Iran’s weapons-grade uranium is buried deep’, says an official; Mossad deploys dozens of female agents for ‘special missions’

New Delhi: Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad knows where Iran’s high-grade uranium is kept. If Iran tries to use it, Israel can intervene. The Jerusalem Post has given this information, quoting its sources. This disclosure has come at a time when tensions between Iran and Western countries are at their peak.

Iran had 440.9 kg of 60% enriched uranium

The international community is constantly putting pressure on Iran to reveal where it has kept high-grade uranium. According to the United Nations nuclear watchdog IAEA, before the Israeli and US air strikes in June, Iran had 440.9 kg (972 pounds) of uranium, which was enriched up to 60%. This quantity is considered just one step away from the level of weapons-grade uranium.

Uranium buried under rubble: Iran

On September 11, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi admitted that Iran’s high-grade uranium reserves are buried under rubble after the attacks by Israel and America. Araghchi said this at a time when the United Nations nuclear watchdog has described Iran’s enriched uranium reserves as a matter of serious concern. The agency has said that it has no information about Iran’s activities since the attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June.

Even if Iran starts rebuilding its destroyed nuclear sites, it will still take about 2 years to make nuclear weapons. The Jerusalem Post has given this information, quoting officers associated with the Israeli Army.

Deployment of female Mossad agents in Iran

The Jerusalem Post has reported that dozens of female Mossad agents were sent to Iran during the Israeli attacks on Tehran’s nuclear and missile programmes in June. The report said that Mossad director David Barnea described the role of women as important during the 12-day conflict. However, there is no information yet about the activities of these female agents.

The Mossad has deployed them in missions ranging from surveillance to carrying out ground operations. Barnea sent hundreds of Mossad agents to Iran in several operations simultaneously. Their targets include radar platforms, ballistic missiles and places destroyed by Israeli aircraft.
