Recent satellite imagery indicates a significant resumption of activity at the Marivan nuclear weapons development complex, located northeast of Tehran. According to the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), the site shows evidence of repairs to damage and a return to regular vehicle traffic. The Marivan facility was previously targeted by Israel on March 3, 2026, during an operation referred to as "Lion's Roar." This strike reportedly destroyed several buildings and likely damaged underground infrastructure, according to ISIS.
Following the attack, extensive cleanup operations were conducted at the site, including the removal of debris and repair of slope damage. The latest satellite photos, taken in September and October 2026 by VANTOR Technologies, reveal renewed activity in areas that were attacked. Specifically, earthmoving operations are visible in one of the sections targeted in March, and overall vehicle movement across the complex appears to have returned to normal patterns.
