Iran's nuclear program includes several research sites, a uranium mine, a nuclear reactor, and uranium reprocessing facilities that include a uranium enrichment facility.
The uranium enrichment facility currently has 3,000 centrifuges installed. Iran plans to install 9,000 centrifuges.

Possible Sites:
GPS Coordinates: 29°28'10.72"N / 53°19'18.23"E
Possible enrichment site built into the base of the mountain. Found in remote location, but is not far from the area of Fasa that is a known nuclear research site.
GPS Coordinates: 29°36'36.54"N / 52°43'14.14"E
In 2003 this site was just fields, but looking at images as the years progressed, one can see this area quickly constructed. Today, a large divided area is still under construction, but the current area that is the most completed already looks similar to other Iranian nuclear enrichment sites.
