The Fordow facility is located 30km (18.5 miles) northeast of the city of Qom in northwestern Iran, and is reportedly hundreds of metres inside a mountain.
It is the only Iranian facility at which IAEA inspectors have found particles of uranium purified to near weapons-grade purity. That happened during an unannounced inspection in 2023.
