Crates, trucks at suspected Iran nuclear site ahead of U.N. visit

VIENNA (AP) — Satellite imagery of an Iranian site possibly used for work on a nuclear weapon shows crates, trucks and construction that may be linked to a renewed attempt to clean up before an inspection by the U.N.’s nuclear monitor, a nonproliferation institute said Thursday.

That monitor — the International Atomic Energy Agency — has repeatedly cited previous evidence of possible attempts to sanitize the Parchin site. But the report now by the Institute for Science and International Security is significant because the IAEA plans to visit the site soon as part of the deal between Iran and six world powers focused on limiting Iran’s nuclear programs in exchange for the removal of economic sanctions.
