Iran Is at Work on Missile and Nuclear Sites, Satellite Images Show
AI Summary
Satellite imagery analyzed by The New York Times reveals that Iran has been rapidly repairing missile facilities damaged in strikes by Israel and the U.S. last year, while repairs to nuclear sites have been slower. The analysis, corroborated by experts, examined approximately two dozen locations targeted during a conflict in June 2025. The swift missile site repairs suggest Iran prioritizes maintaining its ability to retaliate against potential future attacks on its nuclear facilities. Limited progress has been observed in restoring Iran's capacity to enrich nuclear fuel or develop a nuclear warhead. These developments occur as the U.S. maintains a military presence in the region and as the U.S. and Iran are expected to meet in Oman to discuss the Iranian nuclear program.
