Satellite images reveal Iran strengthening sensitive military-nuclear sites

Tehran, Feb 18 (UNI) Recent satellite imagery has revealed new construction and fortification efforts at several sensitive Iranian military and nuclear sites, highlighting rising tensions with Washington and Jerusalem as nuclear negotiations continue under the shadow of potential military escalation.
Experts analysing the images say Iran has erected a concrete shield over a newly developed facility at the Parchin military complex, subsequently covering it with layers of soil in what appears to be a protective measure. The work is taking place at a site reportedly struck by Israel in October 2024, according to regional security sources.
Imagery shows that prior to the reported Israeli strike, a large rectangular building at Parchin stood intact. Post-strike images indicated extensive structural damage. Recent photographs suggest reconstruction is underway, including reinforced overhead protection. Analysts interpret the addition of concrete shielding and earth cover as an attempt to harden the facility against future airstrikes, as per sources.
