CNN: SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING IRAN OR REBUILDING NUCLEAR FACILITIES, SUSPECTED OF VIOLATING THE US-IRAQ AGREEMENT

ON 11 JULY, ACCORDING TO CNN, SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT IRAN MAY BE REBUILDING SOME OF ITS SUSPECTED NUCLEAR AND MISSILE-RELATED FACILITIES. THE IMAGES SHOW NEW SIGNS OF ACTIVITY AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN IRAN BETWEEN THE END OF JUNE AND THE BEGINNING OF JULY, WITH SOME OF THE MOVEMENTS OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES CAUSING OUTSIDE CONCERN. CNN ANALYSED THE TARGAN2 FACILITY AT THE PARCHIN MILITARY BASE AS SHOWING SIGNS OF REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION. THE FACILITY WAS CONSIDERED BY SOME EXPERTS TO BE RELATED TO THE STORAGE OF NUCLEAR-WEAPON EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS, AND SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED THAT REPAIRS WERE UNDER WAY TO VARIOUS CRATERS CAUSED BY PREVIOUS AIR STRIKES. IN ADDITION, SATELLITE IMAGERY OF THE SUSPECTED UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR FACILITY, SAKAYAMA, SHOWED THAT VEHICLES WERE STILL ENTERING AND LEAVING UNDERGROUND TUNNELS DURING THE ENTRY INTO FORCE OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING SIGNED BY MEI ON 17 JUNE. THIS MOVEMENT RAISES QUESTIONS AS TO WHETHER IRAN HAS VIOLATED THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING IT SIGNED WITH THE UNITED STATES AT THE END OF JUNE. EVEN BEFORE TRUMP DECIDED TO END THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND LAUNCH A NEW ROUND OF ATTACKS AGAINST IRAN。
