A Mystery of Disappearing Middle East UF6!
A Reason UNIAEA Head not running for Re-election!
Mystery told in two articles below on missing Iranian UF6!
If Israel doesn’t hit Iranian nuclear facilities soon, it never Will!
At the present time a strike won’t produce a major Middle East War,
But will produce an outbreak of worldwide protests and terror Attacks!
U.S. and Israel are faced with the question, is the attack really worth It,
Or does Iran seek nuclear deterrent so it can wage a conventional War?

Iran boosts covert military nuclear project by diverting UF6 uranium from Isfahan
DEBKAfile Special Report
September 12, 2008, 6:19 PM (GMT+02:00)
Nuclear watchdog experts have found 50-60 tons of uranium, enough to produce five or six nuclear bombs, missing from Iran’s main nuclear production facility at Isfahan.
The disappearance was discovered at the final stage of the production process, where UF6, uranium in gas form is stored, by the only CCTV Iran allowed the International Atomic Energy Agency to install at Isfahan.
US satellites have also identified a number of suspicious sites, not declared to UN inspectors. The UN inspectors and US intelligence suspect that the missing gas is being used to boost covert production of weapons-grade uranium at these secret sites.
Some of the hidden facilities are situated near the main nuclear production center at Isfahan.
One was discovered in the Amir Abid residential district of Tehran.
There, it is believed that the advanced P2 centrifuges operating in the covert production of enriched uranium.
DEBKAfile’s sources add that Isfahan produces low-grade 4-5 percent uranium, whereas weapons grade is enriched up to 90 percent. The upgrading process is not too complicated.
Tehran has been asked to account for the missing enriched uranium before the next IAEA board meeting later this month.

Iran Renews Nuclear Weapons Development: IAEA Says Uranium for Six Bombs Is Missing
Con Coughlin and Tim Butcher
Nuclear experts responsible for monitoring Iran’s nuclear program have discovered that enough enriched uranium, which if processed to weapons grade level could be used to make up to six atom bombs, has disappeared from the main production facility at Isfahan.
American spy satellites have identified a number of suspicious sites, which the Iranians have not declared to nuclear inspectors, that intelligence officials believe are being used for covert research.
The Isfahan complex, which enriches raw uranium “yellow cake” into material that can be used for either nuclear power or atomic weapons, is supposed to be subject to close supervision by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). But the Iranians only allow IAEA inspectors access to the final stage of the production process, where the uranium in gas form – UF6 – is stored. By conducting a careful study of the amount of material stored at Isfahan, and the amount of “yellow cake” known to have been processed at the plant, nuclear experts believe between 50-60 tons of uranium – sufficient to produce five or six atom bombs – has gone missing from
the plant.
“If Iran’s nuclear intentions are peaceful, then why are they doing this?” said a nuclear official.
Nuclear inspectors have also discovered that Gholamreza Aghazadeh, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, recently ordered scientists to increase the amount of UF6 being diverted from Isfahan to another storage facility. The Iranians will be asked to give a full account of the missing enriched uranium when the IAEA’s board of governors meets in Vienna later this month.
