Iran may be rebuilding its nuclear sites: CNN investigation

0 July 11, 2026 18:02

Exclusive satellite imagery obtained and analyzed by CNN in collaboration with the Institute for Science and International Security shows signs Iran may be attempting to rebuild its nuclear facilities. The activity raises questions as to whether Iran violated the memorandum of understanding it signed with the US in late June – even before President Trump seemed to signal its end by launching fresh strikes on the country.

CNN’s Katie Polglase reports on what the new imagery shows, and later, Anderson Cooper discusses with CNN Global Affairs Analyst Brett McGurk and CNN National Security Analyst Beth Sanner on what this potentially means for the greater conflict with the US and Israel.
