Iran has resumed production of equipment for the installation of advanced centrifuges at an unsupervised site west of Tehran, the Wall Street Journal reported tonight (Tuesday), according to diplomats involved in the operation.
According to them, the United Nations Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has failed to monitor or gain access to the Bajarj facility in recent months, and this development poses a new challenge to the Biden administration ahead of the resumption of nuclear talks at the end of the month.
Western diplomats fear that the resumption of operations at the facility, which Iran claims was attacked by Israel in June, would allow Tehran to secretly transfer parts of centrifuges if it chooses to develop a secret military nuclear program.
However, they noted that there is no evidence at this stage that she did.
The activity of the centrifuge assembly facility was stopped after the sabotage operation at the site, which did not receive official approval from Israel.
Diplomats told the Wall Street Journal that in late August Tehran resumed work on the facility on a small scale, and has since accelerated production at the site so it could produce an unknown number of rotors and blowers for more advanced centrifuges.
