What to Know About Pickaxe Mountain
(Institute for Science and International Security) David Albright - On July 13, President Trump made it clear that Iran's nuclear-related Pickaxe mountain facility is on the U.S. target list. The tunnel facility under construction has not been previously targeted. Our assessment of satellite imagery is that the facility is not yet operational, but construction continues. Construction started in 2020, when Iran announced that the underground halls were intended to replace the destroyed above-ground advanced centrifuge assembly facility at the main Natanz site. The space available under the mountain could be expected to be large enough to hold a centrifuge enrichment plant capable of producing weapon-grade uranium. It is likely large enough to also hold certain nuclear weaponization activities such as making weapon-grade uranium metal and shaping it into nuclear weapon components.
