Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is said to be behind an ominous threat, which appeared on Iranian regime-linked Telegram channels on Monday.
The message, along with footage from an underground Iranian nuclear facility, threatens to weaponize the country's atomic energy program and build a missile capable of destroying New York City. (RELATED: What is Biden's ‘Plan B' to Stop Iran From Getting Nukes)
Iran expert Ben Sabti tweeted that an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) “Telegram channel threatens to produce atomic warhead for missiles,” citing the channel's message: “Iran can immediately return to Emad project and build an atomic bomb if Natanz facilities are attacked.”
Bisimchi Media (Radioman Media) is the IRGC-linked Telegram channel. And the Emad, cited in the message, is an Iranian long-range missile.
The U.S. government has classified the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization or FTO.
The short video, titled ‘When Will Iran's Sleeping Nuclear Warheads Awaken?' warns that Iran will develop nuclear weapons quickly “if the US or the Zionist regime make any stupid mistakes.” (RELATED: Iranian Official Claims Tehran Can Manufacture Nuclear Bomb)
The video also says that Iran's ballistic missiles have the capability of “turning New York into hellish ruins.”
Admitting the vulnerability to attack of its well-known nuclear facilities at Natanz, the video says its underground facilities at Fordow near Qom could instantly build nukes in case of attack.
The Jerusalem Post reports Iran International as paraphrasing the video as saying, “the facilities at Natanz may be highly vulnerable to a possible attack by Western powers and Israel but Fordow will immediately assume war footing and begin the nuclear breakout project within a short time if Natanz comes under missile attack.”
“The nuclear facilities of Fordow have been built deep under mountains of Iran and are protected against trench-busting bombs and even nuclear explosion… all infrastructures required for nuclear breakout have been prepared in it,” the video said, according to Iran International.
And this is likely not an idle threat. Aimed at Israel and the United States.
As the Daily Mail reports:
Deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation Behrouz Kamalavandi told state TV on Monday evening that the organisation has started feeding gas into ‘hundreds' of new centrifuges, including the advanced IR-6.
Mr Kamalavandi added that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) ‘had already been notified of this action', without specifying what percentage the enrichment would be.
In July, the IAEA reported that Tehran had started ‘feeding… a cascade of… centrifuges' at a fuel enrichment plant.
These techniques facilitate the process and would make it easier for Iran to switch to a different level of enriching uranium.
But they should also be seen as part of Iran's negotiating strategy, bluffing and threatening; soon after Iran said that it remains ‘optimistic' about a possible revival of the 2015 nuclear deal after the European Union [EU] tabled a proposal aiming for a compromise in the talks stalled since March. (RELATED: ‘Axis of Evil' – China, Russia & Iran Preparing for War in America's Backyard – Latin America)
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said at his weekly news conference: ‘We remain optimistic that the negotiation process will lead us to a logical and reasonable outcome.'
So, the video is clearly a message to wobbly Joe Biden. Push the EU to make concessions on reviving the failed Obama-Biden 2015 nuke deal, or risk a nuke on NYC.
And don't count on an attack by Israel to stop them. ALD

The Biden administration should respond with the statement that the United States has the weapons that could level their whole country. That’s simple and straightforward enough that even Iran could understand it. Of course they won’t because that might hurt Iran’s feelings. It’s really no wonder that the world sees and laughs at how weak this country has become.
Just in the last 2 years or so. Trump would have put the fear of Allah in them. Don’t ever forget that, we need a man with balls back in the White House.
Please, Ayatollah—can’t you do San Francisco first?
Iran will have nukes soon enough. NoKo already has them. And of course both threaten to blow us up with them. This is done to make their leaders appear strong. It’s bullies-on-the-playground stuff.
No one ever said Iranian terrorists were very smart. Calling the United States out for a nuclear shoot out should prove they are not. China, North Korea, Russia, all seem to think this poke the bear month or something and have began asking for nuclear destruction that will last a thousand years in their back yards. So everyone in the world is fortunate I am not in charge, because I only have two words for these morons, pre-emptive strike. We only really have the moron in chief, Joe Biden to thank for these threats. He’s the reason all these guys think they are holding a winning hand, while the plot their own destruction.
I have always dreamed of N.Y. turning Red, but not this way. Has anyone ever told these moronic Muslims that radioactivity has a half life of about 1 million years. Maybe they think they can wait that out, they certainly are dumb enough to think that way.
with Biden in our White House, they will do as they please
Let’s send them a couple planes full of cash, freshly printed of course ?
