The latest round of U.S.–Iran nuclear talks is unfolding against a complicated backdrop, one shaped not just by diplomacy, but by what's happening on the ground inside Iran. The negotiations come a little more than seven months after U.S. and Israeli strikes hit Iran's nuclear facilities during Operation Midnight Hammer. At the time, those strikes were described as a significant blow to Tehran's nuclear infrastructure. But new satellite imagery suggests the story didn't end there. An analysis by The New York Times of high-resolution satellite images shows that many of the nuclear and missile-related sites damaged in the strikes are already being rebuilt. Experts who track Iran's nuclear and missile programs reviewed roughly two dozen locations hit by either the U.S. or Israel and found construction activity underway at more than half of them.

Overall, immigrants had a positive fiscal impact of $14.5 trillion between 1994 and 2023. AllSides highlights content from Gigafact, a network of newsrooms that respond to online claims.
