Satellite imagery shows Iran rushing to clear rubble from the Mojdeh facility near Tehran, with analysts warning the cleanup is meant to prevent inspectors from uncovering illicit nuclear activity.
Iran is rapidly working to erase evidence of nuclear weapons development at a site bombed by Israel during June’s Rising Lion war, according to a new report from the Institute for Science and International Security.
The nonpartisan group, composed of independent scientific researchers and led by former United Nations nuclear inspector David Albright, raised concerns about a potential nuclear cover-up in Iran.
Recent satellite imagery of the Mojdeh site, near Tehran, “shows a significant effort by Iran to rapidly demolish damaged or destroyed buildings, likely to sanitize any incriminating nuclear weapons research and development activities,” the institute said.
