The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) quarterly report on Iran stated that Iran had doubled the number of centrifuges used for uranium enrichment at its underground nuclear facility at Fordow.  The report also noted that recent "extensive activities" at its Parchin complex, including the demolition of buildings and moving of soil, would significantly impact an IAEA investigation of the site if Iran eventually grants it access.
