U.N. Nuclear Watchdog: Iran May Have Built Extension at Disputed Military Site
VIENNA
(Reuters) – Iran appears to have built an extension to part of its
Parchin military site since May, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said in a
report on Thursday delving into a major part of its inquiry into
possible military dimensions to Tehran’s past atomic activity.
A
resolution of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Parchin file,
which includes a demand for IAEA access to the site, is a symbolically
important issue that could help make or break Tehran’s July 14 nuclear
deal with six world powers.
The confidential IAEA report, obtained by Reuters, said:
“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.”
