Satellite images reveal alleged secret Iranian nuclear weapons site – Fox News

May 9, 2025, 07:11 GMT+1

Satellite images obtained by Fox News show what appears to be a previously undisclosed Iranian nuclear weapons facility in Semnan Province, according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

The site, known as the “Rainbow Site,” has reportedly been in operation for over a decade and covers nearly 2,500 acres. It has operated under the cover of a chemical company called Diba Energy Siba, the group said.

According to NCRI, the facility’s main purpose is the extraction of tritium, a radioactive isotope used to enhance nuclear weapons.

"Unlike uranium enrichment, tritium has virtually no peaceful or commercial applications, casting further doubt on Iran’s longstanding claims that its nuclear ambitions are solely for energy or civilian use," Fox News wrote.
