Satellite imagery reveals damage to key Iran nuclear sites
Exclusive satellite imagery reveals fresh damage to Iran's Fordow nuclear facility, according to a report by the Institute for Science and International Security. The latest images, taken on May 25, show new destruction to the centrifuge assembly building and a new tunnel entrance, which raises questions about ongoing proliferation activities.
What does this mean for Iran's nuclear program?
The apparent damage at the centrifuge assembly building is significant. This facility produces centrifuges, which are crucial to enriching uranium. This comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the international community over the latter's nuclear ambitions.
What's next?
Experts are concerned that the latest developments indicate that Iran may be taking steps to obfuscate its activities and deceive the International Atomic Energy Agency. It remains to be seen how the international community, particularly negotiators of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal, will respond to these revelations.
