The International Atomic Energy Agency has acknowledged that Tehran is building an underground advanced centrifuge assembly plant after its last plant exploded in a reported sabotage attack last summer.
According to images from San Francisco-based Planet Labs, since August Iran has been building a new road south of Natanz to what analysts believe is a former firing range for security forces at the enrichment facility. A photo on Tuesday captured this area cleared by construction machinery.
