An Iranian source said on July 25 that Iran’s Ghow Mountain nuclear facility is not only heavily fortified but currently empty, and argued that any U.S. strike on the site would be doomed to fail. The official said former U.S. President Donald Trump wanted to use an attack on the facility to create political credit for himself, adding that hitting an empty warehouse would only help spread false information and bring no real-world benefit. The same official said Iran would respond in different ways and that its reaction would “not be limited to large-scale military action.” Earlier, on July 22, the United States had informed Israel that it planned to intensify strikes on Iran in the coming days, including the first use of heavy bombers since U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran began this year. Those bombers were expected to target the underground nuclear facility at Ghow Mountain. Trump had also repeatedly threatened over the past week that strikes on the region could come “very soon.”
