Iran Rapidly Rebuilds Nuclear Site Hit by Israeli Strikes
Iran is rapidly rebuilding its "Telkan 2" nuclear site at the Parchin military complex, approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Tehran. This facility was reportedly destroyed twice in the past by Israeli airstrikes. New satellite imagery, analyzed by David Albright, a nuclear expert at the Institute for Science and International Security, reveals that Iran has erected a covering over the entrances to the underground facility. This measure is intended to conceal the reconstruction efforts from satellite and aerial surveillance.
Extensive activity is underway at the site, involving earthmoving trucks, bulldozers, cranes, pumps, and concrete mixers. Since reconstruction began in June, following the "Roaring Lion" operation, Iran has completed the construction of two concrete protective layers on the sides of the facility. These layers are designed to shield it from future aerial attacks.
According to Israeli intelligence, the "Telkan 2" site has been used in recent years for the development of advanced explosives and sensitive experiments. These activities are believed to be part of Iran's clandestine program to develop nuclear weapons, specifically focusing on the "weaponization" process to develop a nuclear bomb mechanism.
