The new satellite photo comes after the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that Tehran is in the construction stages of an underground centrifuge facility in Natanz.
A new satellite photo released this morning (Wednesday) shows that Iran is indeed under construction of a new underground centrifuge facility at the Natanz facility.
The photo comes after the UN International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed yesterday that it was building a new nuclear site.
The agency's report is confirmation of allegations made by Iran last month that it intends to rebuild the centrifuge development facility that was destroyed in the July explosion, which Tehran claims was a deliberate sabotage.
According to the Iranians, the new centrifuge development site will be located underground and will be more resistant - even to air strikes.
The director general of the World Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, told the AP news agency that Iran continues to increase production of low-level enriched nuclear material, but at this stage it does not seem to have enough of it to develop weapons.
Satellite imagery of the Natanz area has so far shown no evidence of comprehensive construction or development.
About two weeks ago, the Iranian opposition organization, the Iranian National Council for Resistance, reported that the Revolutionary Guards had begun construction of a nuclear weapons production site east of the capital Tehran, near the ballistic missile production facility in Perchin.
The claim did not receive official confirmation from other sources, but satellite photos that were revealed show the construction of a large military complex at the place indicated by the opposition organization.
