President Trump has threatened to take - or make a deal for - whatever is left of the regime's highly enriched uranium stockpile - a key component to building nuclear weapons. HEU removal operations can be high stakes and dangerous, but the U.S. has successfully done it before in 1994 – safely removing 600 kilograms of weapons grade uranium from Kazakhstan after the fall of the Soviet Union. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports on the covert operation, code named Project Sapphire, and if it could be the blueprint for how to get HEU out of Iran.

Rachel Goldberg-Polin’s son Hersh was taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. On his 328th day in captivity, Hersh was executed in a tunnel in Gaza.

Nearly one year after the election of Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV, Norah O’Donnell speaks with three of the most influential American cardinals in their first joint interview about how Pope Leo’s church has emerged as a voice of moral opposition to the war with Iran and against the crackdown on immigration in the U.S. O’Donnell interviews Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago; Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington, D.C.; and Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Archbishop of Newark, NJ, about the effect Pope Leo is having on the Catholic Church. She also travels to Italy to visit Castel Gandolfo, the 400-year-old papal summer retreat. Continuing the work of his predecessor, Pope Francis, Pope Leo is opening the property up to the world to create opportunities for migrants and the less fortunate.

60 MINUTES investigates a scheme putting us at risk on our roadways - the rise of dangerous commercial trucking fleets called chameleon carriers. Known for flouting federal regulations and racking up safety violations, these often foreign owned and operated networks are four times more likely to be involved in severe crashes. Bill Whitaker reports on one such scheme - Super Ego - a network of commercial trucking and leasing companies that is currently under federal investigation and named in a class action lawsuit.

Countries around the world have built high-speed rail - why has it failed to catch on in the U.S.? An ambitious state-run project connecting L.A. and San Francisco is vastly behind schedule and has seen costs balloon. One private company is hoping it can succeed where the public sector hasn’t – but that too faces challenges. Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on the state of high-speed rail in the U.S. – which has become a stand-in for a broader question: can America still build big things?

In what might be the ultimate front of the U.S. trade war with China, correspondent Jon Wertheim reports from the only active rare earth mine in the U.S., deep in the Mojave Desert near the California-Nevada border. 

Shipbuilding in the United States has been decimated over the decades by shortsighted policies and neglect. Today, the U.S. builds about three large cargo ships a year while China rolls out around 1,000. The Trump administration has called this a national security crisis and is making it a priority to revive the American shipbuilding industry. One solution comes from our ally South Korea. Hanwha, the Korean ship-making giant, is hoping to help resurrect the industry in the U.S. by buying and reviving the Philadelphia shipyard. Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports from Hanwha’s shipyards in Korea and Philadelphia.

Iran has made extensive use of cheap drones in the war to menace the U.S. military and allies in the Persian Gulf. One emerging counter-drone solution is laser systems. Correspondent Lesley Stahl visits one Pentagon contractor developing such a system to explore how advanced lasers work and whether they are ready to be deployed.

Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from McDowell County, W.Va. – once the nation’s largest coal producer, and now one of the poorest places in the country, where the food stamp program started and the opioid crisis took hold.

When President Trump said he would “permanently pause migration from all third world countries” to the U.S., there was one exception: the resettlement of white South African refugees, mostly Afrikaners. The president has said white farmers in the country are victims of genocide, a claim the government of South Africa disputes.
