(Worthy News) – Satellite images obtained exclusively by Fox News reveal what an Iranian opposition group claims is a previously undisclosed nuclear weapons facility in Iran’s Semnan Province. The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) asserts that the site, covering nearly 2,500 acres, has been operating for over a decade under the guise of a chemical production company named Diba Energy Siba.
Code-named the “Rainbow Site” by Iranian officials, the facility is allegedly involved in the extraction of tritium, a radioactive isotope with “virtually no peaceful or commercial applications”, primarily used to enhance nuclear weapons, according to NCRI sources.
The revelations surface as the Trump administration engages in sensitive negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program. Asked about the U.S. stance on whether Iran can maintain a nuclear enrichment program, President Donald Trump said Wednesday, “We haven’t made that decision yet. We will, but we haven’t made that decision yet.”
MILITARY PREPARED IF DIPLOMACY FAILS
If diplomacy fails, the United States, along with Israel, is prepared to proceed with military action against the Iranian nuclear program, as the Pentagon has deployed two carrier strike groups in the region, along with the build-up of fighter jets, bombers, and support aircraft positioned near Iran. The U.S. also deployed additional air defense systems in Israel in the event a war broke out with Iran.
IRAN’S NUCLEAR AMBITIONS CONNECTED TO PROPHECY?
While the West often views Iran’s nuclear program through a secular lens, the spiritual aspect, which plays a central role in driving Iran’s nuclear ambitions, should not be overlooked. Iran is the only country where Twelver Shi’ism is the state religion.
Twelver Shīʿism, the largest branch of Shīʿa Islam, makes up about 85% of Shīʿas. “Twelver” signifies belief in twelve divinely appointed leaders, the Twelve Imams, with the last, Imam al-Mahdi, expected to return as the Mahdi. Twelvers see the Imams as Muhammad’s spiritual and political successors, guiding with justice and interpreting the inner meanings of the Qur’an and Islamic law. They are viewed as infallible (Ismah) and divinely chosen (nass).
The Twelvers believe that the Mahdi is expected to appear in times of extreme chaos, returning alongside Jesus as a messiah to bring peace and establish Islam globally.
Twelver beliefs, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and threats toward Israel and the West have raised concerns. Critics suggest that Iran’s Supreme Leader might incite conflict to hasten the 12th Imam’s arrival. Former Iranian President Ahmadinejad has even called for the Imam’s return at the UN, asserting that the Islamic Revolution’s primary goal is to prepare for his reappearance.
