Satellite Images Show Iran Prioritizing Missile Repairs Over Nuclear Sites

Satellite imagery shows Iran rapidly repairing over a dozen missile sites to maintain deterrence while making only limited defensive repairs at key nuclear facilities, analysts say.

  • The New York Times found that Iran rapidly repaired several ballistic missile facilities while making only limited fixes to major nuclear sites, according to satellite analysis.
  • Analysts point out that imagery shows missile repairs began soon after the June strikes, signaling Iran's short-term focus amid U.S. military and officials gathering nearby; experts say missiles deter repeat strikes.
  • Satellite images show the Shahroud missile production and test complex was rebuilt quickly, with cleared roads and melted snow last month, while new fortifications and a large 150-foot chamber appeared at the Parchin military complex and subterranean tunnel compounds near Isfahan and Natanz.
  • Diplomatically, the United States and Iran are set to meet in Oman on Friday as U.S. naval forces, including USS Abraham Lincoln, maintain pressure amid uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s military decisions.
  • Analysts warn that Iran's Isfahan nuclear complex, Natanz nuclear complex, and Fordow enrichment site appear inoperative, while U.S. and Israeli intelligence assessments say enriched uranium remains buried and tunnel backfilling complicates verification.
