The construction comes as the U.S. nears an election pitting President Trump, whose maximum pressure campaign against Iran has led Tehran to abandon all limits on its atomic program, and Joe Biden, who has expressed a willingness to return to the accord.

Since August, Iran has built a new or regraded road to the south of Natanz toward what analysts believe is a former firing range for security forces at the enrichment facility, images from San Francisco-based Planet Labs show. A satellite image Monday shows the site cleared away with what appears to be construction equipment there.

Iran's mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, last month told state television the destroyed above-ground facility was being replaced with one “in the heart of the mountains around Natanz.”

Iran’s so-called “breakout time” — the time needed for it to build one nuclear weapon if it chose to do so — is estimated now to have dropped from one year under the deal to as little as three months. Iran maintains its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, though Western countries fear Tehran could use it to pursue atomic weapons.

In July, a fire and explosion struck its advanced centrifuge assembly facility in an incident Iran later described as sabotage. Suspicion has fallen on Israel, despite a claim of responsibility by a previously unheard-of group.

Obama owns this mess along with the crook Joe

It will be extremely difficult to undo the Trump's decision to pull out of the deal. They were abiding by the limits but that's all over. Iran will be more difficult to deal with now and in the future.

IT IS A BUILDING, THAT IS NO EVIDENCE, IT CAN BE ANY TYPE OF FACTORY. SMELLS LIKE FAKE WMB...

no credibility your story reminds me of collins powell and his lies about iraq in the united nations, try to evolve and especially stop taking people for imbeciles

Suppressing the news TonyBobulinski

Yea, ABC, campaign manager for Joe Biden. Let's put Biden in power so he, like his boss, can send pallets of cash to a regime that will build nuclear and then destroy our ally Israel. THAT IS WHY THEY CAN'T HAVE NUCLEAR!!!

wow

What about Hunter ? you know Joe Bidens son. The guy who used his dads position as VP to get rich. Oh and you mean Joe will go back to kissing Iran's ass.

If only we had a deal where Iran would agree to no nuclear development for 15 years and independent contractors could be on the ground inspecting these sites.

Which President wont hesitate?

Who was it that tried to secretly send billions of dollars in cash on pallets in the middle of the night to Iran?
