Satellite imagery shows Iran may be trying to rebuild nuclear facilities — CNN

Satellite imagery obtained by CNN shows Iran may be trying to rebuild its nuclear facilities during the fragile ceasefire in the war with the US and Israel.

The images from several nuclear and missile sites suggest that Iran may have violated the memorandum of understanding it signed with the US last month, in which it committed to maintaining the status quo in its nuclear program.

At one nuclear facility, in Parchin, where explosive material for nuclear bombs is thought to be held, images from June and this month show efforts to repair holes made by bunker-busting bombs during the recent war.

The images were analyzed in conjunction with the Institute for Science and International Security, which has published previous reports on Iranian efforts to build out nuclear facilities.

Images also show trucks going in and out of the facility at Pickaxe Mountain, another suspected nuclear site. Images also show construction activity at missile sites.
