Iran Rehabilitating Damaged Nuclear Sites, Satellite Imagery Shows
- Iran is attempting to restore nuclear sites damaged during the American and Israeli operations Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion, according to a Friday CNN report based on satellite imagery.
- Imagery captured in June and July shows repairs at Parchin and Pickaxe Mountain, where construction vehicles and concrete mixing trucks indicate restoration efforts at multiple sites.
- Beyond nuclear sites, CNN shared imagery of repair attempts at Iranian missile bases, including a runway crater being filled with concrete at the Tabriz airbase.
- This activity may violate the MoU, which requires Iran to maintain the status quo at all nuclear sites; President Donald Trump claimed on Wednesday the agreement is over.
- The analysis, conducted with the Institute for Science and Security, follows a loosening of restrictions by the American government that allowed outlets to share regional satellite imagery more easily.
