In September 2009 Western leaders exposed a secret Iranian facility. US President Barack Obama, joined by France and Britain revealed intelligence on the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, an underground enrichment site being built deep inside a mountain near Qom. Iran had not declared Fordow to the IAEA, violating its safeguards duty to report new facilities at the planning stage.

At Iran’s request, the Obama administration granted Iran access to the U.S. financial system, despite repeated public assurances that it would not do so.

Throughout 2021 and 2022, Iran installed cascades of advanced centrifuges at Natanz and Fordow, significantly increasing its enrichment output. In February 2021, the IAEA reported that Iran stopped allowing access to data from nuclear sites, as well as plans for future sites. Iran upped its production to 60% enriched uranium, an unprecedented level for Iran, just short of weapons-grade. This 60% enrichment took place at Natanz, and later at Fordow as well, yielding a stockpile that as of early 2023 exceeded ~70 kg of 60% uranium. The UK, France, and Germany without input from the Biden administration, raised alarms at the rapid rate of Iranian enrichment.

Khaled Batarfi, a Saudi Arabia-based political analyst, says Iran’s attacks on its neighbours across the Gulf have left people “angry and disappointed and shocked”. Batarfi questioned why Iran appeared to be directing more attacks at its neighbours than at Israel or the US, suggesting this may partly be linked to assassinations that took place on the first day of the war.

“All the cool heads, all the intelligent people in Iran are now underground, and that’s what’s happening when the Revolutionary Guards are taking over, because they don’t think, they just push the buttons,” he added.

Ex-Trump adviser Michael Flynn's call for 'one religion' in the US garners swift condemnation
