IAEA says Iran has expanded Parchin military facility

The UN nuclear watchdog says in a report obtained by Reuters that Iran “appears to have built an extension to part of its Parchin military site since May.”

Reuters quotes the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report as saying that “since (our) previous report (in May), at a particular location at the Parchin site, the agency has continued to observe, through satellite imagery, the presence of vehicles, equipment, and probable construction materials. In addition, a small extension to an existing building appears to have constructed.”

Iran and the IAEA have agreed upon a “roadmap” under which Tehran has to provide the agency with sufficient information about its prior atomic activity for a report by the end of the year.
