Iran builds at underground nuclear plant

Iran builds at underground nuclear plant, The West Australian Jon GambrellAAP. Fri, 18 December 2020  Iran has begun construction on a site at its underground nuclear facility at Fordo amid tensions with the US over its atomic program, satellite photos obtained by The Associated Press show.
Iran has not publicly acknowledged any new construction at Fordo, whose discovery by the West in 2009 came in an earlier
round of brinkmanship before world powers struck the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran.

While the purpose of the building remains unclear, any work at Fordo likely will trigger new concern in the waning days of the 

Trump administration before the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

Already, Iran is building at its Natanz nuclear facility after a mysterious explosion in July there that Tehran described as a 

sabotage attack.

“Any changes at this site will be carefully watched as a sign of where Iran’s nuclear program is headed,” said Jeffrey Lewis, 

an expert at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies who 
studies Iran.

Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The International Atomic Energy 

Agency, whose inspectors are in Iran as part of the nuclear deal, also did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
