@Daniel Bell Exactly. So you don't need a God occupying half of that little volume. It is or should be valuable real estate.

I know it sounds a little off (but Goldie said the same thing about other infrastructure). I believe that most of the electric generating power plants are old and fueled with heavy bunker fuel. The should have been replaced long ago. But now, especially if they are destroyed, new natural gas (methane) driven jet engines could double the energy generated (based on BTU equivalents of the fuel), i.e., greater efficiency, and with less than half the Carbon Dioxide and less than 10% of other atmospheric pollutants. And the footprint of the plants are small. I worked on one that generated 550MW, sat on 12 acres (2.5 hectares), and the noise level at the fence could not exceed 80dbs. Of course the nuclear plants can be refurbished for electricity production (out in the open -civilian control) and will be needed to generate the desalination plants (they use a lot of energy). The enriched uranium can be diluted stored and will fuel be enough fuel for decades, If there are still fears, have all of it under American control, on Iranian soil. I trust that more than some of the suggestions of turning over 60% enriched U to Russia, or worse to Erdogan. (Oh, My imaginary God. He wouldn't wait even a weak to start a nuc program)

You and Goldie were talking about the historical treasures that are being threatened. Have Reza Pahlavi (to the outside he is still just citizen Pahlavi, leader of the coalition of the democratic resistance) request some IAF drones be attached to the unit protection, and if the sapah try something the drones will see them, identify them, kill them, and call for backup.
