Earthquake tremors were felt on October 5 in Iran, which is fighting a war with Israel.
Since then, it has started being discussed that a Muslim country has conducted a nuclear test. The timing and location of the earthquake have led people to speculate about a nuclear program.
An earthquake measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale was recorded at 10:45 a.m. in Aradan County, Semnan Province, Mehr News Agency reported. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 12 kilometers.
Since then people are alleging that Iran is close to becoming a nuclear power nation. However, no expert has confirmed any of this.
Let us tell you that on October 1, Iran fired about 180 ballistic missiles at Israel. This was his biggest direct attack on the Jewish nation. Israel vowed revenge. Since then the world is restless.
Is Iran close to a nuclear bomb?
“Iran could be producing nuclear weapons faster than expected,” the Heritage Foundation said, according to an India Today report. A senior Iranian parliamentarian was quoted as saying that there was only a one-week gap from the issuance of the order for a nuclear bomb to the first test. This comment was made in April. There is no doubt that Iran’s nuclear program is in its final stages.
In an interview with The Guardian, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak said that attacking Iranian nuclear sites might not be a huge blow, as their program was far advanced. Let us tell you that recently former US President Donald Trump had advised Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear sites.
Western countries have for decades accused Iran of running a military nuclear program under the guise of civilian nuclear projects. In 2010, Stuxnet malware was detected at Iran’s largest nuclear facility in Natanz. It was reported that the US and Israel used Stuxnet to disable centrifuges, setting Iran’s nuclear program back by 5 years.
In 2015, Iran accepted restrictions on uranium enrichment critical for nuclear weapons in exchange for an easing of sanctions against it. This agreement actually lasted for three years. In October 2024, the Heritage Foundation reported, citing an International Atomic Energy Agency official, that Iran was close to reaching 90% uranium enrichment grade, which is necessary to make a nuclear bomb.
Let us tell you that to make a nuclear bomb, Iran will need an electronic firing system. “I don’t think Iran is going to start detonating nuclear weapons this year,” said Houston G. Wood, professor emeritus of mechanical and mechanical engineering.
