Iran’s Peaceful Nuclear Activities Transparent, Safeguards Compliant

Iran’s mission to the United Nations has reiterated that the Islamic Republic’s peaceful nuclear activities are “transparent” and under the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards. 
The mission made the remarks in response to an Associated Press inquiry about Iran’s reported construction of a nuclear facility so deep in the earth near a peak of the Zagros Mountains.
The US-based news agency cites analysis of satellite photos and videos from Planet Labs PBC, saying they show Iran has been digging tunnels in the mountain near the Natanz nuclear site, which has come under repeated sabotage attacks amid Tehran’s standoff with the West over its atomic program.
