"CNN has released exclusive satellite images showing that Iran has already started rebuilding the Taleqan 2 nuclear site. Taleqan 2 is a heavily fortified high-explosive testing chamber suspected to have played an important part during Iran's covert Ahmad nuclear weapons program in the early 2000s. All 3 holes in that roof have now been fixed."
Satellite images reveal Iran is rapidly rebuilding a suspected nuclear weapons testing facility at Parchin that was damaged in recent attacks, despite the MOU stating Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program. Iranian engineers had buried the site with sand before attacks to protect it, and reconstruction represents a significant defiance of ceasefire terms. This development complicates negotiations where nuclear concessions were expected to be traded for sanctions relief.
