The first clear pictures of Iran’s nuclear site near Isfahan have been published and analyzed following an explosion at or near the site on Nov. 28, and they provide another piece of the puzzle. But what happened there remains a mystery.
Iran’s uranium conversion facility sits outside Isfahan. It is there that yellowcake is turned into uranium hexafluoride gas (UF6), which is then fed into centrifuges and turned into enriched uranium. The enriched uranium then can be made into fuel for power stations, or it can be highly enriched for a nuclear bomb.
Fox News obtained satellite pictures of the Isfahan nuclear site between Dec. 3 and 5, less than a week after reports of explosions in the area were heard. Analysts at the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), which employs some of the most widely respected experts on Iran’s nuclear sites, scrutinized the images and said there is no evidence of an explosion -- but there wouldn’t be clear evidence several days after an event.
ISIS analysts who looked at the images from Isfahan said there had been a dramatic change in the landscape around a tunnel leading down to a storage facility on the periphery of the uranium conversion site. Several structures above that storage facility, which had been there for 15 years and stood intact as recently as August, are gone. There now is evidence of bulldozing around the old structures.
"There is something strange going on,” he said. “It is not clear what it is. There was the recent blast at the missile facility with people killed. There was a report of a blast at Isfahan’s uranium conversion site. A U.S. drone has been downed. “Something is going on. It’s not clear what it is".

They forgot to mention that highly enriched uranium is also used in medicine, thought I would add that for balance so as people didn't just fall for the old line that the only reason to enrich is to make bombs.

You don't spend trillions of dollars in reasearch development and manufacture for a few bottles of medicine nobody could afford.
The medicinal use is a byproduct of weapons development not the other way around.
No they said, we will make nuke weapons, Allah willing.
Allah was not willing.

medical grade uranium is not a few bottles of medicine and hardly needs trillions spent developing it as it has already been researched.
ever heard of chemotherapy? used to fight cancer, they use medical grade uranium.
