CNN Exclusive: New satellite imagery reveals Iran may be rebuilding suspected nuclear facilities

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.

Iran has huge drinking water problems, food problems, electric grid problems, distribution problems, yet they’re working on their nuclear facilities? Even if they got them up and running, doing anything with them that would result in an actionable weapon is now months or years away. But they put a priority on nuclear?!

The Twelvers are apparently still running the show. The Twelvers believe that by fomenting a nuclear war it will bring the Twelfth Imam out of hiding and that will bring about the Apocalypse, the death of Isreal *and-then-a- miracle-happens* and utopia. You’d think somebody would have put an actual stop to this. You’d think that enough world leaders would want to leave a living planet to their offspring that the Twelvers would have been put to the sword a long, long time ago. I fear normalcy bias is preventing anyone from taking them seriously. I knew several Iranian political nut cases while I was in college, and I can attest that they were completely bought into the burn-everyone-alive...then, somehow, utopia. You couldn’t ask them about that last step. They always skipped over that because of “faith.” It’s the same logic about dying and then getting all those virgins. I even asked about not having a body, or if still having a body not being alive. Never got an answer to that one either. It’s like they couldn’t hear the question.

That’s why you mine the place.

Persistent, non-magnetic, blast / over pressure resistant, mines in an AT / AP mix with a variety of anti-handling features, and fine hard to see fiber optic wires for the AP mines.

Shocked!
Shocked, I tell you...

CNN is still pissed since it went to all the trouble of showing (live) a Trump campaign event that it anticipated getting a scheduled assassination scoop, and that CNN was distraught that it failed...

Right no way Pete or DJT know about this, CNN should drop them a note and let them know.

You can bet your bottom dollar the US military had put Iran in grids to watch exactly what’s going on. CNN doesn’t have an exclusive.

I wonder how big a nudge from our military it would take to entirely stop any drinking water from flowing in Tehran and 100 miles in all directions. That might get someones attention there.

Is there anyone on the planet who really thought Iran would adhere to the terms of the MOA? Iran has not honored a single agreement since 1979, so why would one expect any difference now? Finish the job. Force an unconditional surrender, set up free elections, and see what Iran does with that.

“I wonder how big a nudge from our military it would take to entirely stop any drinking water from flowing in Tehran and 100 miles in all directions. “

The Iranians were already talking about abandoning Tehran. The water problem was that serious before the war. As to the US doing anything...Trump must act like a good guy and that would undoubtedly be called a war crime. (Heck, they’re calling his combover a war crime.) Going out of his way to kill civilians would lose him any shred of moral high ground that saving the world from the Apocalypse might gain him.

Yup, this is exactly why they are acting the way they are. Totally agree. They think they can force it to happen by their actions.
