Satellite imagery showed that Iran has repaired and fortified military and nuclear sites damaged during the June 2025 US-Israeli strikes. Iran constructed a cylindrical chamber covered by concrete at the Taleghan 2 explosive testing site at Parchin, according to the Institute of Science and International Security. It also buried the three tunnel entrances to the underground portion of the Isfahan nuclear complex and fortified two entrances to the Pickaxe Mountain underground site near Natanz. Iran also made repairs to missile bases near Shiraz and Qom.
