Tehran, Iran – Recent satellite images show that Iran has constructed a concrete shield over a new facility at a sensitive military site known as Taleghan 2, concealing it underground. According to experts, this move comes after an Israeli airstrike in 2024 and is part of Tehran’s efforts to bolster the protection of its facilities against potential airstrikes.
Burying the tunnel entrances in the Isfahan nuclear complex
Images show that Iran has buried the entrances to three tunnels at the Isfahan complex, one of its main uranium enrichment sites. This measure is intended to make it more difficult to target the facility from the air or gain access to it by land to seize the nuclear materials stored inside.
Fortifying the tunnels near the Natanz site
The images also revealed ongoing efforts to fortify two entrances to a tunnel complex under a mountain near Natanz. This includes the movement of heavy vehicles and cement mixer trucks. Sources indicate that these works are intended to enhance the security of the nuclear facility and strengthen its defensive infrastructure.
Rehabilitation of missile bases in southern and central Iran
The images showed repairs at the Shiraz South missile base, where the main logistics complex was rebuilt. Partial repairs were also observed at the Qom missile base north of Qom city, both of which sustained minor to moderate damage during previous airstrikes.
Context of international tensions
These moves come as US-Iranian negotiations over the nuclear program continue. At the same time, Washington has threatened military action should the talks fail. These images highlight Iran’s preparations for any potential escalation in the region.
