Iran Building New Security Perimeter around Nuclear Site
(Institute for Science and International Security) David Albright - New commercial satellite imagery shows the construction of a new security perimeter around the base of Mt. Kolang Gaz La, located south of the nearby Natanz enrichment complex. The mountain contains a new, large, deeply buried tunnel complex and a separate, smaller one dating to 2007, neither of which has been visited by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The creation of a security perimeter around deeply buried sites associated with uranium enrichment suggests that Iran is increasingly worried about an individual or group seeking to enter the tunnel complexes undetected.
