Iran has moved centrifuge work from site allegedly hit by Israel to Natanz — IAEA
|
[israelTimes] Move comes just weeks after Tehran said it set up another site for producing centrifuges in Isfahan, where UN watchdog doesn’t have access to data collected by its cameras.
Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....
has shifted all the centrifuge production equipment from a nuclear site allegedly targeted by Israel to the underground Natanz facility, according to a Wednesday report.
Citing a statement from ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency, Rooters said the move came just six weeks after Tehran had established another site at Isfahan equipped with the machines required to produce centrifuges.
In February, Iran informed the UN nuclear watchdog it had stopped production at the Karaj workshop after the site was allegedly struck last June in an Israeli "sabotage" operation.
Tehran initially refused to allow IAEA inspectors into the site to replace the cameras damaged in the alleged attack, but in December struck an agreement with the watchdog and new cameras were installed.
Weeks later, however, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said the agency was informed by Tehran of its intention "to produce centrifuge rotor tubes and bellows at a new location in Isfahan."
Grossi noted the IAEA "could adjust its surveillance and monitoring measures accordingly."
"A few days later, Agency inspectors applied seals on all the relevant machines in the Karaj workshop, placed them under containment and then removed the surveillance cameras installed there," he said at the time.
And on January 24, IAEA inspectors set up cameras at a site in Isfahan "to ensure the machines intended for the production of centrifuge rotor tubes and bellows were under monitoring," the UN watchdog said.
But the IAEA does not currently have access to the data collected by its cameras at the new Isfahan workshop under the agreement with Tehran, and not much is known about the site in Isfahan.
"Without access to the data and recordings collected by these cameras, the agency is unable to confirm whether the production of centrifuge components at the workshop in Isfahan has begun," the report sent out Wednesday to IAEA member states said.
Last April, the Natanz nuclear facility experienced a mysterious blackout that damaged some of its centrifuges. In 2020, unexplained fires struck the advanced centrifuge assembly plant at the site, which authorities later described as sabotage. Iran has said it was rebuilding the facility deep inside a nearby mountain.
