Deep beneath a mountain, hundreds of centrifuges spin, enriching Iran's uranium, which Israel suspects is destined for a nuclear weapon.
The factory in Fordow is protected by tons and tons of dirt and rocks, away from prying eyes - and foreign missiles.
But as Israeli warplanes fly unchecked over Tehran, with much of the Islamic Republic's air defenses reduced to smoking ruins on the ground, attention has shifted to the secret facility.
Some say that only the American B-2 bomber and its massive payload could penetrate the so-called "nuclear mountain," while others argue that troops on the ground might be able to penetrate its corridors. Or perhaps it's simply impossible, short of a nuclear strike.
But the move is seen as too dangerous by the UN. In an update from the UN Security Council meeting in New York, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog warned against attacks on nuclear facilities and called for maximum restraint in response to Israel's attacks on Iran.
"An armed attack on a nuclear facility should never happen and could result in radioactive releases with major consequences within and beyond the borders of the state that is attacked. Therefore, I again call for maximum restraint ," Rafael Grossi, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told the UN council.
