Iran Rebuilds Nuclear Sites After Strikes, Images Show
After US and Israeli strikes, Iran is rebuilding and expanding its nuclear facilities, based on new satellite images.
Construction is visible at Natanz and Fordo, including tunneling work.
These sites were damaged in strikes in June, which were intended to halt Iran's nuclear program.
Despite the strikes, Iran seems determined to continue its enrichment activities.
The US is closely monitoring the situation, but is divided on how to respond.
