VIENNA (AP) — A U.S. institute tracking Iran’s nuclear program says recent satellite images it has analyzed show further major alterations of a military site that the U.N. has long tried to access to follow up suspicions that Tehran may have used it in attempts to develop atomic arms.
The four photos from satellite company DigitalGlobe and GeoEye were seen by The Associated Press ahead of publication by the Institute for Science and International Security planned for today. The images show what ISIS said was progressive asphalting of an area of the Parchin complex that the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency has said was a possible location for testing conventional explosive triggers for a nuclear blast.
