Overview

• An Institute for Science and International Security report says rapid demolition and debris removal at the Mojdeh (Lavisan II) complex likely sanitized the site to thwart detection of nuclear weapons-related work.
• Maxar imagery shows the Institute of Applied Physics building and a workshop were destroyed in June, debris removal began by July 3, and by August 19 key structures—including one tied to the Shahid Karimi Group—had been razed and cleared.
• The IAEA has linked Mojdeh to Iran’s pre-2003 AMAD weapons program, and the institute assesses the complex has been associated with successor SPND-related activity near Malek Ashtar University.
• IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi says Iran is legally obligated to resume inspections as soon as possible and the agency seeks visits to Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan as well as an accounting of more than 400 kg of near–weapons-grade uranium.
• Britain, France and Germany are likely to initiate steps on Thursday to reimpose U.N. sanctions over breaches of the 2015 nuclear deal, according to diplomats, while Tehran maintains its program is peaceful.
