Boston Globe: A member of an exiled Iranian opposition group said yesterday that Iran’s government has just completed a secret underground facility to enrich uranium using laser technology, and began a second, secret construction project at the same site earlier this month.

AP: Iranian engineers have built a secret underground storage area for use as a uranium enrichment facility in a restricted military area of interest to the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, an Iranian exile said Thursday. The exile – Alireza Jafarzadeh – said by telephone from Washington that the “camouflaged tunnel-like facility” was completed recently at Parchin, a sprawling Iranian military complex about 20 miles southeast of Tehran.

Reuters: An Iranian exile accused Tehran on Thursday of secretly purifying uranium for use in nuclear weapons at a recently-constructed underground facility at a military complex called Parchin. “Iran has completed an underground tunnel-like facility in Parchin, which is now engaged in laser enrichment,” said Alireza Jafarzadeh, an Iranian exile who has reported accurately in the past about hidden atomic facilities in Iran.

New York Times: Iran and its European negotiating partners struggled without success on Wednesday to break an impasse on reaching a long-term agreement on nuclear, economic and security cooperation. But the Iranian side presented new proposals to provide further assurances to the Europeans that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful, and the two sides have agreed to meet again soon, participants said.
