Iran opens new centrifuge workshop in Natanz

On Thursday, the Atomic Energy Agency said in a report seen by Reuters that Iran has started operating a new workshop in Natanz to make spare parts for centrifuges used in uranium enrichment, adding that the machines were recently transferred there from Karaj.

"On April 12, 2022, the agency completed the installation of surveillance cameras at this site, and then removed the seals from the machines," the agency said in the confidential report to member states, without mentioning the location of the intended site in Natanz.

"On April 13, 2022, Iran informed the agency that the machines will start work in the new workshop on the same day," the report added.

The agency did not say if it had confirmed that the machines had been started.
