The two most important chip companies in China have a problem: the 5 Nm have been choked

by

In the middle of last May Dr. Kiman expert in the manufacture of integrated circuits who has worked in Samsung and who currently investigates for TSMC in the US SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp) I was about to Start 5 nm chips production. And also that he planned to launch his first 3 Nm nodes equipped with GAA transistors (Gate-alall-around) in 2026. This company is the largest Chinese manufacturer of semiconductors, and has been working on the development of its own 5 Nm photolithography with Huawei. For these two companies to have the ability to manufacture their own 5 Nm chips is crucial, but they are having serious problems with this integration technology. Dr. Kim pointed in May that the performance by wafer that SMIC had reached in this node was less than 30%, but now there are two antagonistic means, the Canadian platform Techinsights and the Chinese newspaper SCMPthose that support the difficulties faced by Huawei and SMIC. According to Techinsights the new laptop Matebook Fold Ultimate Design Huawei incorporates a soc Kirin X90 manufactured by SMIC. Nothing striking here. What is surprising is that the chip of this ambitious team is not produced in the 5 Nm node. SMIC is manufacturing it in its second -generation 7 NM node (N+2) using an integrated circuit production technique known as Multiple patterning. This strategy in broad strokes consists in transferring the pattern to the wafer in several passes with the purpose of increasing the resolution of the lithographic process. China needs avant -garde lithographs, but endures thanks to mature chips The problem facing SMIC and Huawei, as we have explained in other articles, is that the Multiple patterning It has an upward impact on the cost of chips and the decrease in production capacity. These two Chinese companies have been forced to use this technique in their equipment deep ultraviolet lithography (UVP) because the prohibitions of the United States and the Netherlands prevent the Dutch company Asml from selling their machine their machines in Chinese extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE). The latter allow to produce more advanced semiconductors than UVP equipment. In Xataka The cure of some diseases "incurable" is already closer thanks to quantum computers According to Techinsightts, the new Matebook Fold Ultimate Design Matebook of Huawei incorporates a SOC Kirin X90 manufactured by SMIC In current circumstances it is reasonable to conclude that Huawei has not yet incorporated 5 Nm chips manufactured by SMIC in its most advanced equipment because the production of these integrated circuits is still very limited. This is what Techinsight and SCMP supports. And we think about it too. However, there is something important that we should not ignore. As I mentioned a few lines above, China needs avant -garde photolithographies To have the ability to make chips as advanced as those produced by South Korean companies Samsung or SK Hynix, Taiwanese TSMC or Intel or Micron Technology Americans. But, curiously, the Chinese semiconductor industry is surviving Thanks to mature chips. In fact, in 2024 it produced 12.5% ​​more than in 2023. It is not bad at all, especially if we are in mind that US sanctions and their allies prevent Chinese manufacturers of integrated circuits accessing UVE lithography equipment. And since 2024 they cannot buy more UVP lithography machines. For a good part of 2022 the production of China semiconductors suffered an important fall and did not begin to recover until the end of that same year. Of course, in 2023 this industry grew almost constantly, and in 2024, as we have just seen, the rebound was monumental, especially in the final stretch of the year. {“Videid”: “X81Felr”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “A future without mole in China the industry changes the paradigm and we explain why”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “182”} In this situation it is reasonable that we ask ourselves what kind are the integrated circuits that are producing the Chinese manufacturers. And the answer is very revealing: these are chips derived from mature integration technologiesusually of 28 nm or less advanced. After all, the semiconductors that we find mostly on electronic devices, appliances or cars, among other products, have been produced using them. More information | Techinsights | SCMP In Xataka | The US has declared the total war on Huawei: he does not want him to sell his chips for the most advanced outside of China (Function () {Window._js_modules = Window._js_modules || {}; var headelement = document.getelegsbytagname (‘head’) (0); if (_js_modules.instagram) {var instagramscript = Document.Createlement (‘script’); }}) (); – The news The two most important chip companies in China have a problem: the 5 Nm have been choked It was originally posted in Xataka by Juan Carlos López .

What experts explain about their maintenance

by

The heat arrives, the nights become sticky and, Like every summerit’s time to wake up the old air conditioning. But this year something is not going well. When lighting it, the first breath of air does not bring relief: it smells weird, as a moisture enclosed, as forgotten. Is it just unpleasant or is there anything else? A problem that floats in the air. Some experts They have coincided In The Guardian that if the air conditioning smells weird, something is wrong. It is not a matter of comfort: there may be health consequences. “These smells are usually a sign that there is accumulation of mold or dirt in the filters or in the equipment of the equipment,” He explained For the British media Amy Li, a professor at the University of Waterloo and a researcher of interior air quality. According to Li, the air that comes out of a dirty team is not only cleaner than the one that enters: it can be loaded with mold spores. The origin of the problem. Every time the air passes through the cold serpentine (the evaporator coil), the steam is condensed. If that water does not drain well, it is stagnant and becomes a perfect broth for bacteria and fungi. And yes, from there those smells come, like They have detailed From Bosch. Can it be avoided? It would be as manual, basic and regular maintenance. Robert Polchinski, a professor at the City Tech College in New York, explained in The Guardian that he must be washed at least once per season. If the air is very loaded – for example, in urban or pet areas – it may be necessary to clean it more often. You also have to review the coils (interior and exterior), make sure that the device drains correctly and is well level. At the end of summer, you have to keep it well, without leaning or forcing it. In addition, if you are going to use the air after months, ventilate the house with the windows open for at least half an hour while it is running, According to a series of measuring tips. More innovative solutions. In addition to maintenance, innovation is also pushing more efficient solutions. Researchers They are developing New materials capable of better absorbing moisture and improving energy efficiency, which could lead to devices that cool more and spend less. Can everyone stink? According to an expert climate videomany users neglect the outer unit of The systems Splitwhere dust and humidity can also accumulate. Even pipes can absorb odors from inside the house and return them to the environment. A little known but effective solution is to install a siphon in the drain system, which avoids the return of odors. And, of course, maintain a cleaning routine every three or four months. In the case of portable or window equipmentmaintenance is more direct, but also more urgent: they are usually more exposed to dust, and many users store them badly in winter, damaging the compressor or leaving them in positions where the water is not drained correctly. The importance of counting the years. Air conditioning equipment has an estimated useful life of between 8 and 10 years. But if you notice that the light of the light rises without explanation, that the coils freeze or that the smell does not go with a thorough cleaning, the time has come to change it. It is not just a matter of efficiency: the oldest equipment consume more energy, pollute more and cool worse. A less toxic summer. The air conditioning can be a lifeguard in times of extreme heat, but it can also become a risk if neglected. Regular maintenance not only prevents bad odors: it improves energy efficiency, prolongs the life of the equipment and protects health.

Tesla Robotaxis have been programmed to drive as a human. So when they see the police hit a brake

by

In addition to taking the first steps in a new market, the appearance of Tesla’s robotaxis in the streets of Austin leaves us many other readings. Among them how the company has approached autonomous driving, the use of artificial intelligence and how it takes advantage of its millions of cars in the street to advance faster and spending less money than competition. And that has its consequences. An unexpected brake. A Tesla Robotaxi that exceeds a crossing, which marches at the expected speed and that, without prior notice and without apparent reason, slows hard until it almost stops completely. What makes the car doubt? To the right of the intersection, in a street perpendicular to the march of the Robotaxi de Tesla, a police patrol is stopped. This does not hinder the march of the autonomous vehicle but, despite this, the car stops strongly. The video can be found on YouTube After the up of a user and Antitesla accounts have replicated them in X. Who has uploaded the video is Edward Niedermeyerjournalist specialized in the motor world in the United States and author of a book in 2019 on the birth of Tesla and the figure of Elon Musk, especially known for its critical positioning with the brand. Click on the image to go to the original tweet Fear of police. In Techcrunch They echo the video and put on the table the possibility that this type of behavior is due to learning that Tesla robotaxis have made of their own drivers. It is likely that, learning with the Huge database Of millions of cars on the road, the artificial intelligence that supports the movements of the autonomous car replicates the behavior of a good part of the humans: stop before a police car. This is what DGT defines how “Miron effect”. “Live millions of lives”. For a long time, Elon Musk presumes that the artificial intelligence used in its drinks from the vehicles that the company has in the streets. “It’s like living millions of lives simultaneously And see very unusual situations that a person in his entire life would not see, “Elon Musk said in the presentation of Tesla Cybercab. The company trusts not having to invest billions of dollars in the development of its total autonomous driving such as Waymo and Cruise because they use the data that their drivers yield with their vehicles. Thus, artificial intelligence learns from their behaviors and makes decisions that could be considered more human and less robotized. As human as stopping a police car or cover an intersection. A differential value. Tesla is confident that this approach is key to positioning itself as the best operator in the market. Although there is only a dozen robotaxis circulating through the streets, the data collected are not only obtained with trial vehicles, real data with real conductors are obtained, which should save enormous amounts of money and hours invested. Not only that, the company also aspires to have cheaper vehicles on the street. The combination of Artificial intelligence cameras It is a combo that, according to the company, allows them to save money on radars and lidar sensors, which make vehicles that are put on the streets a lot. Of course, it is not entirely clear that this is the right act because, as has been seen in some tests, The lidar sensor is much more effective in front of the cameras in concrete situations such as low visibility or with obstacles that can generate confusion to the cameras. A shadow. The latter is relevant. Mark Rober’s test showed that a car with cameras cannot discern safely If what is in front is a painted wall like a road or a real road. The lidar sensor, however, does detect the obstacle. Although this situation is not going to be given in real conditions, it does show us the effectiveness of the system to discriminate when it is facing a situation or not of danger. For example, when a Tesla Robotaxi confuses a simple shadow with an object On the road. This case, which is in A Reddit post Where all the errors of the robotaxis are being collected, it could be solved with the use of this system instead of trusting everything to the cameras.

Iran, Ivanka Trump and Venice’s threats

by

One day from the beginning of the controversy Jeff Bezos wedding in Venicethe pearl of the Mediterranean has been filled with luxury yachts, celebrities, curious and activists with intention to manifest your discontent With the inconvenience that such a private event is causing in the city. The wedding, which in principle was planned to take place between June 24 and 26, finally He postponed To celebrate for three days between June 26 and 28. That was not going to be the only change on the agenda. The protests and threats Run by different groups of activists to boycott the acts, it has forced the place where the link for security reasons will be held. Iran, Trump and a complex wedding One of the star events that was going to be held on the occasion of the millionaire link with Lauren Sánchez was going to take place on Saturday at the Scuola Grande Di Misericordia, located near the Grand Canal. However, for security reasonsthe organization has considered adequate Transfer it Al Arsenale de Venice, a medieval complex of the Venetian Republic that has already housed great events on the occasion of the Biennale. Its location is made a safer and easy to control enclave since it is located at the east end of the city. The presence of important entrepreneurs, millionaires and relevant personalities, including Ivanka Trump, daughter of the president of the United States, have extreme security for fear of a terrorist attack In response to the recent US bombing to the plants in nuclear enrichment of Iran. “We have raised the alert levels for the international situation,” said Darco Pellos, prefect of the city. Arsenale walled door Bezos, Go Home The change of location also responds to the pressure that activist groups They have been carrying out for a few weeks, with protests and banners in which it was criticized that Venice has become the wedding set for the millionaire. Among the threats of these groups of activists, to which It has joined Greenpeace, was boycoting the accesses to events Blocking the channels With inflatable boats, vessels and even throwing themselves into the water in the face of boats with guests if necessary. Carry out these threats In Arsenale it will be more complicated because it is a place with access to open water. According The published by Reutersthe change of location has already been considered as a success for this protest movement. “The news that Bezos has fled from mercy is a great victory for us,” said Tommaso Cacciari, leader of the platform “There is no space for Bezos” According to published Swissinfoin an attempt to congratulate the city, the founder of Amazon would have asked in his invitation to the ceremony that the guests do not give them gifts on the occasion of their link, suggesting them to make donations to the city in return. The tycoon would have chosen three local organizations to channel those donations: UNESCO in Venice, dedicated to protecting the heritage of the city; the Corila association, which investigates the preservation of the Venetian lagoon; and Venice International University, which investigates sustainable solutions for lake conservation in the area. An airport full of Vips Venice Airport has become a hotbed of private jets that brought the more than 200 guests to the link, among which are Oprah Winfrey, Eva Longoria, Leonardo DiCaprio, Shakira, Robert Pattinson, Karlie Kloss, Mick Jagger, Elton John, Bill Gates and a good part of the Kardashian clan. Lady Gaga has also reached the city, and her role is expected to be double, since she will attend the ceremony as a guest, but also will give a private concert For link attendees, agree To what is published by Euronews. According to published The Italian The repubblicaBezos and Sánchez would also have already landed in Venice, although in their case they did it by helicopter taking off from Your support yacht Abeona from Koruafter enjoying a journey along the coast of Croatia. The couple was seen in a boat in the Embarcadero of the Aman hotel, one of the most luxurious hotels in the city. The change of location has not been the only security measure adopted at the last minute. Some of the megayates that They planned to tie up In the city they have decided to stay away. The two most representative are Abeona and Koru, owned by Jeff Bezos, who will remain on the coast of Croatia. However, some guest yachts have tied in Venice. They have been seen he KISMETowned by Shahid Khan and the Arience, Jeff Bezos’ Investor and Personal Friend, Bill Miller.

Jordi Wild also wanted to dive into the video game industry, but recognizes his failure: “It is paralyzed”

by

Jordi Wild is one of the content creators More followed by todaybut of course, that does not mean that everything that touches becomes gold. Despite the Success of your podcast Already the delivery and dedication he had put in a horror video game project in which he appeared as a creative director, the thing is not going well. He has made it clear in one of his last programs, talking about development paralysis. A promising project. In December 2023 Jordi Wild was intended to develop “one of the most terrifying games that have ever made“, as he said in his own program. At that time the game already had a year of development in Unity, at the hands of its own study. It was a modest project, a short duration game and a very attractive expected price: just 20 euros for a title that would come out in Steam. In it, a detective investigates an adultery in a New York building: a case that becomes more dark as it descended by the floors. The project is twisted. The initial idea was that he came out on Halloween of 2024, but soon he had to change it to a larger one “early 2025“. But this week, in a podcast that is not yours, ‘the bunker’, He commented that the game is “paralyzed” and that he could not give more details for legal issues. Because of the little that has advanced, there was a creative clash with the study or the producers, who approved their ideas for later retracting: “You cannot tell me, months later, ‘this cannot be’”. Wild concludes that he chose “the people I have worked with.” The future of the project is doubtful: “I do not know what to do (…), if to rebuild it from scratch, discard everything and start a new story with new people in command, or continue with what we have. But I will need a powerful team” in front. You have to look for more. Jordi Wild’s case is not isolated: a great range on social networks and content platforms does not guarantee success In other areas. However, it is a diversification that Many influencers and streamers are looking for since only a few are on top in an increasingly busy space (in 2024, the community influencer Spanish speaker grew 21%, already worldwide already We talk about 2 million creators). The key to highlighting in such a busy panorama in vertical integration: merchandisingcollaborations with brands, courses, face -to -face events and own products. The negotiate. Although brand agreements are usually the main income of content creators (70%, according to themselves), own businesses increasingly abound. We no longer talk about exploiting the brand itself with memberships, exclusive content, donations and new formats such as podcasts or face -to -face events. We talk about founding companies where influencer It is just an extra hook to finance and advertise a product. That’s where ideas such as Jordi Wild’s enter, although he is far from being the first. Some precedents. For example, Olajide “ksi” Olatunji, One of the most relevant British youtuberswith 24 million subscribers, the prime energy drink developed with Logan Paul, although he had previously tried to develop mobile games between 2017 and 2019. Paul himself starred in the greatest failure in the world of video games managed by Influencers: ‘Cryptozoo’, a cryptocurrency game in a gamified metaverso that would combine NFTS and digital asset trading. The thing never fructify, and Paul He had to distance himself from his partnersaccused of fraud, in a project that makes it clear that the accelerated ethics of the digital content does not always apply to all sectors. And in Spain. In Spain there have not been so many Streamers linked to video games (we will have to see what is left The Xokasalthough it can be predicted quite accurately), but creators who have gone beyond their usual margins. The clearest case is that of IBAI, who has taken advantage of his fame and his income to embark on companies such as launching a own football team or organize events Like the successful the eveningbecoming de facto In a businessman who makes streamsand not the reverse. Thing that is not easy: Jordi Wild himself created Dogfight Tournament to his iumagen and similarity and has had astronomical losses. Some causes of failures. There are very clear reasons for This type of failures: The most obvious, which is not the same to play and comment games than to develop them. The programming, design and testing learning curve is very pronounced and cannot be assumed in a short time. The Influencersaccustomed to the frantic rhythm and based on constant internet novelties often do not internalize the development times of a video game, much longer. On the other hand there are a number of business factors that start from a lack of market research that lead to believe that followers are automatic clients, or that the demographies of their audience and their clients are the same, when they rarely are. A possible Substimation of development costs It ends up rounding what are often chronic of announced failures. There are exceptions, of course: Pewdiepie or Ninja are clear cases of influencers who have managed to get out of their digital creation frame, but for now Jordi Wild will not be able to enter that club.

He has just paid 1.5 million to expand the electricity grid until its fifth datacenter

by

If you pass through the A-23 at the height of Huesca and see operators opening a new underground channel for the electricity grid, you are seeing the new fat cable of Amazon. The company founded by Jeff Bezos continues to expand through Aragon With your data centers. Check me a cable here, literally. The last movement of the technological giant is an investment of almost 1.5 million euros to connect the electricity network to its future data center in the Walqa technology park, on the outskirts of Huesca. According to him Official Gazette of AragonAmazon Web Services (AWS) has projected the construction of an underground line of 1.4 kilometers that will pass under the A-23 highway and the N-330 road to take 15 kV of tension to its future center. This double circuit will connect the PHUS electric substation with the Amazon plot in Walqa. A project of 714 million. The new AWS Data Center in Walqa will occupy about 70 hectares. Construction work began at the end of April on old poultry farms. Amazon has planned a total investment of 714.6 million euros in this complex., One of the five new data centers that will be built in Aragon, adding to the existing three This center of Huesca is one of the five new data centers That AWS is going to build in the community, adding to the three already existing. The other four will be located in the Burgo de Ebro (two) and Villanueva de Gállego (two). All of them will be interconnected by a dense fiber optic network, functioning as a single and powerful “AWS region.” The Amazon Empire in Aragon. The abundance of cheap renewable energy, the available soil and regulatory facilities have consolidated Aragon as a digital hub of southern Europe. And Amazon is one of the companies that is most expanding in the area. The three locations that form the triangle of the EU-SOUTH-2 region of Amazon Web Services a data center in the Walqa Technology Park (Huesca), two data centers in the Burgo de Ebro (Zaragoza) and two other data centers in Villanueva de Gálgo (also Zaragoza). The three are expanding with five new buildings, in addition to electricity and fiber optic lines. In total, Amazon plans to occupy 354 hectares in Aragon. Not only Amazon expands in Spain. With one planned investment of 15.7 billion euros For the next decade, AWS is the data company that grows the most in Spain, but not the only one. Microsoft has announced investments of 6,690 million euros in Zaragoza and of 1,950 million in Madridwhere Oracle and IBM are also expanding. One of the most recent landings is Malo, which at the end of 2024 announced an investment of more than 750 million euros in a 190 hectares campus in Talavera de la Reina (Toledo).

Murcia is convinced that she has a special smell. So he has decided bottling him and turning him into a perfume

by

If Seville has a special color, as those of the river sang, Murcia can boast another identity equally striking: its smell. At least he considers his City Council, that He has opted by a fragrance inspired by the aromas of the city, such as orange blossom or myrtle, to use it as an institutional gift. In fact so convinced is the town hall that has dedicated more than 11,000 euros to launch it in the framework of the celebration of the 1,200 years from the town. Of course the perfume has a name: “Fire ritual”. A perfume inspired by Murcia? That’s how it is. At the moment there are not many details that have transcended the Murcian Olfative Initiative, but they allow us to get an idea of ​​what is their approach. The news emerged on Sunday as a result of A tweet Posted by Ginés Ruiz, local spokesman of the PSOE. In him, pulling a sneer, he threw a polish to the local government headed by the popular José Ballesta. “Dear neighbors of Murcia: do not forget that July 7 is the last day to pay the IBI, that the mayor has to pay things like the ‘aromatic mist commemorating the #Murcia12’ to 11,325.60 euros,” Ironizaba Ruiz. The message was accompanied by The photo of a document in which, indeed, a budget item of 11,300 euros is collected for something called “aromatic mist.” Click on the image to go to Tweet. And what is it? Ruiz’s tweet led several media, basically RRNEWS, Murcia’s opinion and Murcia Economyto pull the thread and contact the City Council to learn more about that mysterious “aromatic mist.” Thanks to them we know that their real name is ‘Fire ritual’ and consists neither more nor less than a fragrance with the smell of Murcia “elaborated by Iberchem and that will be presented shortly. What exactly does it mean to smell Murcia? “It smells like the color of the flames”, replyenigmatic, the Consistory. Because? The opinion reveals that the City Council took the first leg of an unsuspected place: its tourism officia. Visitors who come there in search of information often speak the smell of orange blossom, so … why not capture that olfactory essence in a perfume? The idea, insist from the municipal government, is that “a part of Murcia always travels with visitors” and encouraged them to return. “The idea is that this initiative arising from the ‘Murcia 1200’ project lasts and extends as a gift beyond this year, being able to take this aroma everywhere where entities and groups of civil society be named Murcia with their talent,” They clarify. For now, the fragrance will become gift for those who visit Murcia in official acts or during relevant quotes. The important thing: What does it smell like? The City Council advances that it is “a unique fragrance inspired by Murcia and its history”, with “representative” aromas such as orange blossom or myrtle. “It’s a fragrance Niche Inspired by oriental, wood, smoke touches, spicy points … When you smell it, it transports you to that warm fire, with a sweet touch and Ambarado“, They clarify. The idea is that people can spray perfume and use it to set rooms. The name, ‘Fire ritual’, is inspired by one of the large celebrations of the town: the spring parties, and more specifically in its climax, The burning of the catafalco of the sardine. The news has jumped with the fragrance and ready to appear. The person responsible for forming it has been the Iberchem company and in the project a member of the Royal Perfume Academy would have participated.

The worst is coming

by

After more than a month of talking about warm events and extreme temperatures, the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) already talks about the probable arrival of a heat wave, the first of this year. Special notice. After a brief truce in the heat caused by the Dana who has traveled these days part of Spain, Aemet points out that the return of high temperatures will be especially extreme. So much so that has issued a special notice by heat wave that will be in force in much of the country. Specifically, the special notice will affect the Peninsula, “except Northwest Quadrant and Cantabrian Area,” says the agency. The situation will begin on Saturday 28 (although the previous days will also be warm) if the forecasts are met, and will last, at least, until Tuesday, July 1. What can we expect? As Aemet summarized on social networks, we can expect temperatures that exceed 40º-42º Celsius, with minimal that could be maintained above 23º-25º in some areas. The latter implies that a wide part of the country will live the phenomenon of the “Tropical nights“, With areas on the edge of the calls”Equatorial nights”. These phenomena refer to the nights in which the temperature does not fall from the 20th and the 25º respectively. The most affected areas. Although The notice It affects a good part of the peninsular territory, the forecasts of temperatures above 40º will particularly affect some areas. According to the agency, the southern half and, more specifically, the southwest quadrant will be the most affected areas, although the depressions of the Northeast could also see the thermometers to overcome this mark of the 40º. On Sunday 29 and Monday 30, the “high days” of the heat wave, this brand could be overcome not only in the valleys of the Guadiana, Ebro and the Guadalquivir but also in the Tagus Valley. According to the agency, these days it will be “very likely” that in the Guadalquivir environment they will exceed 42º. How have we get here? According to Aemet’s notice, the arrival from the African continent an anticyclone at medium and high levels will be mainly responsible for the situation. This anticyclone will bring an air “very warm and relatively dry.” Atmospheric stability will imply a higher level of insolation that will continue to heating this mass of air. The situation do not take unnoticed many Knowing The dynamics of the last weeks. The forecasts indicated that the effects of the Dana’s passage would be brief and that the influence of the high pressures would condition the meteorology again. The low atmospheric circulation is one of the conditioning factors that have brought us to this extreme situation. When do we hope it ends? The heat wave will be extended at least until Tuesday 1, but there is a logic uncertainty regarding this medium -term forecast. According to Aemet points outthe “most likely scenario” places the end of the episode between Tuesday and Miercols 2, when a thermal descent would begin that would begin in the west to extend from Thursday by the Peninsular North. The agency warns, of course, that temperatures can be kept on the verge of 40º in areas of the southwest quadrant.

The Iranian nuclear program has only delayed a few months

If the images do not lie, and everything indicates that They do notin the days before the American air operation against Iran’s nuclear facilities, the satellite captured and revealed unusual movements in the Fordow uranium enrichment complex, one of the three objectives of The hammer operation. Not just that. The United States has just been part of the victorious proclamation with A report which puts the result of the mission in serious. Anticipation. According to him Visual analysis Of the photographs taken by Maxar Technologies between June 19 and 20, a series of cargo trucks, bulldozers and heavy machinery were positioned in accesses to the main tunnel of the underground complex. The registered activity suggests deliberate work in the entrances with land. In other words, snapshots indicate that they will go He sealted clearly The accesses to its underground nuclear installation of Fordow days before US bombings, suggesting that I was looking to protect her of possible Israeli terrestrial incursions. Implications Although the United States claims to have destroyed key capabilities, Analysts held until yesterday that the previous seal, together with the possibility that nuclear material has been dispersed, raised doubts about the real impact of the attack.
