What harm can Iran do with a plain ol’ centrifuge, right?

The United States is considering letting Tehran run hundreds of centrifuges at a once-secret, fortified underground bunker in exchange for limits on centrifuge work and research and development at other sites, officials have told The Associated Press.
The trade-off would allow Iran to run several hundred of the devices at its Fordo facility, although the Iranians would not be allowed to do work that could lead to an atomic bomb and the site would be subject to international inspections, according to Western officials familiar with details of negotiations now underway. In return, Iran would be required to scale back the number of centrifuges it runs at its Natanz facility and accept other restrictions on nuclear-related work.
Instead of uranium, which can be enriched to be the fissile core of a nuclear weapon, any centrifuges permitted at Fordo would be fed elements such as zinc, xenon or germanium for separating out isotopes used in medicine, industry or science, the officials said. The number of centrifuges would not be enough to produce the amount of uranium needed to produce a weapon within a year — the minimum time-frame that Washington and its negotiating partners demand.
And as we all know, Iran takes rules and restrictions verrrrry seriously.

We're gonna let Iran enrich uranium from a fortified underground bunker. If this is the compromise, what did we talk them down from?

If bunker hidden centrifuges are where we are at with Iran negotiations..what possibly is red line for Obama to pull out of negotiations?
— Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) March 26, 2015
So, let's run centrifuges where near weapons-grade has been achieved two years ago, an impossible to attack location http://t.co/IqJPNKVknN

Our rogue nuclear program is strictly for peaceful purposes, but we insist on continuing enrichment in our underground blast-proof bunker.
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) March 26, 2015
So for abandoning uranium enrichment, Iran gets an armored space battlestation the size of a moon, with the ability to destroy a planet.
