Iran is conducting regular and unexplained activity at bombed uranium-enrichment sites, United Nations atomic inspectors said, potentially complicating talks with the US over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

Satellite imagery shows work taking place at sites targeted by the US and Israel in June, International Atomic Energy Agency Director Rafael Mariano Grossi said in a report on Friday. The nature of what’s happening there is unknown to inspectors, he said, as they’ve been blocked from making examinations since that 12-day conflict.
