Iran is actively rebuilding the Taleqan-2 facility in Parchin following two Israeli airstrikes, with recent satellite imagery from September 13 showing significant construction and defensive reinforcement efforts. The facility, located within a military complex in Parchin, was targeted by Israel in October 2024 and again in March 2026. Previously, the site was used for explosive testing related to Iran's past nuclear weapons program.
New satellite photos reveal extensive work, including the installation of a protective cover over the damaged underground structure to conceal ongoing repairs, according to the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS). The area shows a heavy presence of engineering equipment, such as trucks, bulldozers, pumps, concrete mixers, and cranes, indicating a rapid response.
Repair and restoration work commenced in June 2026. Initial phases involved sealing bomb penetration holes in the underground facility with concrete. Concurrently, reinforced concrete sections were constructed on both the right and left sides of the site, with the left side's construction now complete. ISIS assesses these reinforced structures are intended to provide additional protection against blast waves from potential future aerial attacks, suggesting the repairs are focused on both infrastructure restoration and enhanced defense.
The Parchin complex has been a repeated target for Israel. Following the March 2026 strike, the IDF confirmed the facility's use in recent years for developing advanced explosives and conducting sensitive tests under the 'Amad' project, Iran's clandestine nuclear weapons initiative from the 2000s. The September 13 imagery documents both the repairs to the damaged underground structure and the construction of new hardened concrete elements.
