New satellite images show activity at ‘Pickaxe Mountain,’ an underground site in the Zagros Mountains where IAEA inspectors have not been allowed to visit, even as Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow show little movement after last year’s US strikes.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms that it will not seek or develop nuclear weapons. The Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program.” These are two clauses in the memorandum of understanding signed by Iran and the United States, but new satellite images of a secret site are raising questions over whether Tehran truly intends to uphold the agreement.
Fox News reported that a leading U.S. research institute that monitors Iran’s nuclear program has warned about the regime’s uninspected underground site in the Zagros Mountains. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have not been allowed to visit the site, known as “Pickaxe Mountain.” According to researchers, the fortified facility raises doubts about Iran’s willingness to comply with the terms of the memorandum of understanding reached with the Trump administration.
