In July, an explosion rocked a key Iranian nuclear facility. Iran called it sabotage and vowed to rebuild a destroyed building underground. Iran is now turning that promise into a reality, new satellite images show.
The mysterious July explosion that destroyed a centrifuge assembly hall at Iran’s main nuclear fuel enrichment facility in Natanz was deemed by the Iranian authorities to be enemy sabotage, and provoked a defiant response: The wrecked building would be rebuilt in “the heart of the mountains,” the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said.
Progress on that pledge, which could shield the facility from an aerial assault or other threats, has been unclear to outside observers. But new satellite imagery is now shedding light on the Iranian plans.
The Visual Investigations team of The New York Times has tracked construction at the site using the new imagery. For the first time, new tunnel entrances for underground construction are visible under a ridge in the mountain foothills south of the Natanz facility, about 140 miles south of Tehran.
The Times worked with Jeffrey Lewis, an arms control expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey in California, to interpret the new image.

Joe Biden's advisor is like Joe Biden and the rest of his shadow cabinet, an idiot.
They'll paint a rosy picture until even the sycophant media tells them the jig is up. Afterwards, they will give several different reasons for failure including we gave it it the old college try or Trump's fault, before moving on to other topics.
Since it is deep underground and carbon dioxide is heaver then air, there is an opportunity at a clean sweep. Would not be the 1st time there was a fire at an Iranian nuke facility.
You do not know what Trump is doing intel-wise to diplomatically. Trump could have made an end run around the corrupt Brennan CIA and had the DoD conduct a cyber attack setting back the Iranian nuke program.
Trump could have passed information to Netanyahu or imply greenlighted Israeli action by telling Bibi "If you strike, the US won't pull an Obama at the UN."
You have no contacts in intel, so you know absolutely jack shit and jack ain't here.
You're correct about " patch cord ranger", he likes to live off the impression he has inside juice.
Underground eh, the Japanese defenders of Mt. Suribachi might have an opinion on that strategy.
