A 5.0 magnitude earthquake struck near Iran’s Natanz nuclear plant on Thursday, causing a stir across the world. The tremor was felt in the Badrud area, which is located just 26 kilometers away from Iran’s main uranium center Natanz. A few hours later, another tremor of 4.5 magnitude occurred, raising questions about the safety of the region. However, there were no reports of casualties.
Notably, Iran has not yet clarified whether its nuclear centre has been damaged by this earthquake or not. In such a situation, the question is also being raised whether Iran has made a nuclear bomb.
Suspense over atom bomb
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has already expressed serious concern about Iran’s weapons-grade uranium reserves. In a recent report, the agency claimed that Iran has stockpiled uranium enough to make nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, the US and Israel are scheduled to hold a high-level meeting on Iran’s nuclear program in Washington next week. Experts believe that if the reports of Iran developing nuclear weapons prove to be true, then it could become the biggest security crisis for the entire world.
New challenge for Israel-America
Israel has long been a major opponent of Iran’s nuclear program and has previously carried out cyber attacks and covert operations on Iranian nuclear sites. Last year, Israel attacked an S-300 air defense system located in Iran’s Isfahan province. Now, after reports of an earthquake or explosion near Natanz, this could be a sign of new danger for the US and Israel.
Has Iran made a nuclear bomb?
If it is proved that Iran has developed a nuclear bomb, it can pose a huge threat to the entire Middle East. America has already imposed strict economic sanctions on Iran, but if Iran develops nuclear weapons, it can become a big challenge for America, Israel and their allies. Experts believe that if any secret nuclear test or explosion takes place in Natanz, it can give a big blow to international peace.
