Satellite images show construction at Iranian nuclear facility

LA Times  

Iran has begun construction on a site at its underground nuclear facility at Fordo amid tensions with the U.S. over its atomic program, satellite photos obtained Friday by the Associated Press show. Asked for comment, Iran’s mission to the United Nations told the AP that “none of Iran’s nuclear activities are secret,” given the ongoing inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Trump in 2018 unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal, as part of which Tehran had agreed to limit its uranium enrichment in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. Under the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran agreed to stop enriching uranium at Fordo and instead make it “a nuclear, physics and technology center.” “This location was a major sticking point in negotiations leading to the Iran nuclear deal,” Lewis said.
