Iran has now begun uranium enrichment at it's Fordo location. This enrichment facility is an estimated three hundred feet under ground, to protect it from possible air strikes. It is also reportedly the home of Iran's most efficient centrifuges, and will be the focus of enriching uranium to a point well beyond what it is needed for energy output. Fordo is the most likely location for Iran to build weapons grade uranium at because of it's deep defensive location as well as it's isolation.
At the same time Iran has continued to build hostilities with the world. Revolutionary Guard deputy commander Ali Ashraf Nouri stated that Iran will block the Strait of Hormuz, where a sixth of western oil sails through, if oil exports are sanctioned as promised by, President of The United States, Barack Obama and other world leaders. The sanctions were brought into law, though not act yet, in response to Iran's refusal to halt previous enrichment that was a little above energy grade. The beginning of production of even higher grade uranium at the Fordo facility, clearly shows Iran's response to the world.
Diplomacy has failed with the Iranian government. Sanctions has failed as well. Setting up a stage semi-reminiscent of late 1930s Japan. Will it take such a major war to end the situation with Iran? Or can a peaceful situation yet be attained? Difficult to see hope when the antagonistic regime in Tehran not only refuses to acknowledge Israel's right to exist, but has pledged to see her and her allies wiped from the earth. Hardly the sort of people one wishes to see with weapons that could wipe a city at a time out.
