An Iranian opposition group that first identified Iran’s covert nuclear weapons facility has uncovered a new site in the western part of the country.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran said the new site was built to test centrifuges used in making highly enriched uranium for nuclear bombs.
The site is located near the city of Isfahan and has 120 to 180 centrifuges.
Firouz Mahvi, a spokesman for the group in Austria, said the new site is known under the cover name as a “fuel research and production center.”
Tehran “is continuing its uranium enrichment program despite demands by the International Atomic Energy Agency to the contrary,” he said.
The IAEA has given Tehran until Oct. 31 to deal with questions about the covert nuclear program.
