Iran Is Fortifying Nuclear Sites and Rallying Its People for a Return to Fighting

Satellite imagery shows new defenses around key nuclear sites as Tehran rebuilds missile and drone production and warns of regional attacks.

  • Satellite imagery analyzed by the Institute for Science and International Security revealed Iran built earthen barriers around Natanz and Pickaxe Mountain nuclear sites, apparently intended to complicate potential American ground operations.
  • The Pentagon is reinforcing its Middle East presence, with a third aircraft carrier strike group and an additional Marine expeditionary unit heading toward the region as officials prepare strike options.
  • Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, warned Sunday that Tehran could target the United Arab Emirates, regional data centers, and internet cables if Washington renews military strikes.
  • President Donald Trump ruled out an attack before the November 3 midterms last week, though U.S. officials said the military is preparing a range of options for new strikes.
  • Compounding external threats, Iran is battling a surge of attacks by separatist militants in Sistan-Baluchistan, where at least eight security personnel have been killed in the past three weeks.
