Report: Iran Deal May Permit Centrifuges at Fortified Fordo Site
(AP-ABC News) George Jahn and Matthew Lee - The U.S. is considering letting Tehran run hundreds of centrifuges at its Fordo facility, a once-secret, fortified underground bunker, in exchange for limits on centrifuge work and research and development at other sites, officials have told the Associated Press. The site would be subject to international inspections and any centrifuges permitted at Fordo would not be used to enrich uranium. Experts say the compromise for Fordo could still be problematic. They note it would allow Iran to keep intact technology that could be quickly repurposed for uranium enrichment. The site at Fordo is a particular concern because it is hardened and dug deeply into a mountainside, making it resistant - possibly impervious - to air attack.
