Iran fortifies underground complex near nuclear site, satellite images show

(Emma Pengelly, Ghoncheh Habibiazad – BBC) Iran has been fortifying an underground complex near one of its nuclear facilities, according to analysis of new satellite images. This activity comes at a time of heightened tensions as talks between Iranian and US officials continue, with President Donald Trump threatening fresh military action against Iran if it does not agree a new deal on its nuclear programme. The photos, first analysed by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), a US-based think tank, show tunnel entrances being strengthened at Mount Kolang Gaz La – also known as Pickaxe Mountain. – Iran fortifies underground complex near nuclear site, satellite images show
