Satellite photos show new construction at Iranian nuclear site
DEBKAfile Special Report
Iran is shown actively building a new facility for advanced centrifuge production at the Natanz nuclear center – this one underground - to replace the plant destroyed in an explosion last summer. Satellite images released on Wednesday, Oct. 28, by the San-Francisco-based Planet Labs, show a road going into the mountains south of Natanz to an apparent structure, mostly likely a tunnel in the mountains. The sabotaged facility was manufacturing high-speed centrifuges to accelerate the enrichment of high-grade uranium for nuclear fuel. Iran is clearly embarked on sinking its most sensitive nuclear facilities underground as a safeguard against sabotage. DEBKAfile: While slowing direct military tensions with the Washington in the run-up to the US presidential election, Tehran is busy on the quiet updating and advancing its nuclear program.
