Iran Building Underground Nuclear Facility Impervious to U.S. Weapons
- Iran is constructing an underground nuclear facility near Natanz that is likely too deep to be destroyed by U.S. bombs.
- Satellite images show four entrances being dug into the mountainside, with estimated depths of 260 to 328 feet.
- Completing the facility would complicate Western efforts to stop Iran's potential development of nuclear weapons.
- Iran continues advancing its nuclear program and producing uranium at near weapons-grade levels despite warnings from the U.S. and Israel.
- Diplomacy is seen as the best path forward, though talks aimed at reviving a nuclear deal with Iran have stalled.
