Waiting for Answers on Fordo: What IAEA Inspections Will Tell Us

EXPERT AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEWS
After a great deal of conjecture by experts and media scrutiny, Iran's newest enrichment facility, located in the mountains of Qom, opened its doors to much-anticipated IAEA inspections on October 25.

FAS assesses the discrepancies between Iranian and western statements made about the technical specifications, the purpose, and legality of disclosure of the facility. 

The IAEA must now provide an objective technical account of the facility and to determine whether Iran violated its Safeguards Agreement obligations.

Contact FAS experts to learn:
- What can be expected from the IAEA inspections of the facility;

- What information inspectors will likely obtain during their visit to the enrichment site; and

- What this inspection means in the wider context of Iran's enrichment program and ongoing nuclear negotiations.
