Western media claimed ˈa massive explosion which has destroyed most of Iran’s nuclear facility at Fordoˈ.

ˈAn explosion deep within Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility has destroyed much of the installation and trapped about 240 personnel deep underground,ˈ the West propaganda machine claimed.

The Iranian official noted that there has been no explosion whatsoever in Fordow nuclear facility.

Washington and its Western allies accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program, while they have never presented any corroborative evidence to substantiate their allegations. Iran denies the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Tehran stresses that the country has always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.

Despite the rules enshrined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) entitling every member state, including Iran, to the right of uranium enrichment, Tehran is now under four rounds of UN Security Council sanctions for turning down Westˈs calls to give up its right of uranium enrichment.

Iran has dismissed Westˈs demands as politically tainted and illogical, stressing that sanctions and pressures merely consolidate Iraniansˈ national resolve to continue the path.

Tehran has repeatedly said that it considers its nuclear case closed as it has come clean of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)ˈs questions and suspicions about its past nuclear activities.
