Recent satellite images indicate that Iran has undertaken repair and reinforcement work at several sensitive military and nuclear sites amid heightened tensions with the United States and its allies, according to an analysis reported by Reuters.
At the Parchin military complex, a site already targeted by Israeli strikes in October 2024, images show the construction of a concrete shield over a new installation, which is then covered with earth. Experts believe this type of construction aims to protect strategic infrastructure from potential air attacks.
Other images reveal that Iran has buried tunnel entrances at a nuclear site bombed by the United States during last year's 12-day Iran-Israel war. Access to underground tunnels near another site has also reportedly been fortified, while some missile bases damaged during the conflict have been repaired.
These developments come as relations between Tehran and Washington remain strained, particularly regarding Iran's nuclear program and the indirect negotiations initiated in recent weeks. Iranian authorities regularly assert that their facilities serve a defensive and civilian purpose, while the United States and Israel suspect military activities.
Analysis of satellite images does not allow for a definitive determination of the exact nature of the activities carried out at these sites. However, it suggests a desire to strengthen the resilience of Iranian strategic infrastructure against potential strikes, in a regional environment still marked by significant instability.
