Satellite imagery from September 13 reveals Iran is quickly repairing the "Talqan 2" facility within the Parchin military complex, which was targeted by Israel in October 2024 and March 2026. The facility was previously used for explosives testing related to Iran's past nuclear weapons program.
According to the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), Iran has erected a cover over the damaged underground facility, concealing ongoing restoration work. This work includes sealing bunker-buster bomb penetration holes with concrete and constructing reinforced concrete pads to enhance the site's protection against blast effects from potential aerial attacks.
Following the March 2026 strike, the IDF confirmed the site was used for advanced explosives development and sensitive tests as part of the "Amad" project, Iran's pre-2000s nuclear weapons initiative. Restoration efforts began in June, with initial repairs focusing on sealing bomb damage and adding new reinforced concrete structures.
ISIS also noted that Iran expanded earthworks fortifications at Mount Al-Mekoush in August, amidst threats from then-U.S. President Donald Trump to attack the site.
