In fact, the tunnel complex is more deeply buried than the Fordow underground enrichment plant, with more entrances and no apparent ventilation shaft, making it harder to destroy than Fordow and certainly harder than a surface facility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report added that Iran appears to have completed the construction of the tunnels and is now working on \u201cconstruction inside the tunnel complex, likely related to the finishing of the underground rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iran is further breaking international laws by refusing to comply with its obligations \u201cunder modified Code 3.1 of its comprehensive safeguards agreement (CSA) to declare new nuclear facilities such as uranium enrichment plants in the design phase, and continued lack of full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n<p>Rebeccah Heinrichs, senior fellow at Hudson Institute and the director of its Keystone Defense Initiative, slammed President Joe Biden\u2019s appeasement of the Iranian regime in a statement to The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere could not be a U.S. team more eager to placate the Iran regime than this White House, and the approach has only encouraged the regime to become more belligerent, more dangerous, and willing to advance its illicit nuclear program,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are running out of time to overhaul this Middle East strategy.
