Fox News has exclusively obtained satellite imagery revealing what an opposition group says is a previously undisclosed Iranian nuclear weapons facility — raising fresh concerns amid ongoing negotiations between Tehran and the Trump administration.

The newly identified site, located in Iran’s Semnan Province, is far from the regime's already-known nuclear facilities. According to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), intelligence gathered from sources inside the country points to a sprawling compound covering nearly 2,500 acres.

Code-named the "Rainbow Site" by Iranian officials, the facility has reportedly been in operation for more than a decade, masked as a chemical production company known as Diba Energy Siba.

According to NCRI sources, the primary function of the Rainbow Site 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.

The revelations come as the Trump administration navigates sensitive negotiations with Tehran. When asked about the U.S. position on whether Iran can maintain a nuclear enrichment program short of weapons development, President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday, "We haven’t made that decision yet. We will, but we haven’t made that decision yet."

The discovery of the Rainbow Site could complicate the already delicate diplomacy surrounding Iran’s nuclear capabilities and the possibility of a renewed agreement.

A fundamental flaw in the negotiation of the previous Iran Deal ("JCPOA") had been Iran's unwilingness to be transparent about its past and possibly on-going nuclear weapons program.

On April 30th, 2018 Iran’s Israel’s Prime Minister dramatically revealed a hidden “nuclear weapons archive” copied by the Mossad which included some 100,000 documents and files, or a half ton of documents, CDs, and other materials, containing vital information about Iran’s past nuclear weapons- related effort, in particular the work of the AMAD program. This program’s structured work on developing the nuclear weapon itself was largely halted in 2003 or 2004 but carried on in a more research-oriented fashion afterwards, aimed at eliminating scientific and engineering bottlenecks in developing nuclear weapons and increasing know-how about them.

These revelations highlighted the fundamental mistake made by the JCPOA negotiators not to

settle the issue of Iran’s past and possibly on-going nuclear weapons program prior to the

implementation of the JCPOA in January 2016. Because this issue is so fundamental to

preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, "the decision to sweep this issue under the

carpet served to not only weaken the JCPOA, but with this new information, served to call into

question its very purpose" - according to David Albright, the President of the Institute of Sxience and International Security.

This time around full and complete transparency regarding all of Iran's past and present nuclear activity and nuclear related activity, in the broadest possible sense, must be a prerequisite.
