Story summary

Satellite images reveal significant renewed activity at an Iranian nuclear facility called Minzadayi, located northeast of Tehran. The site, believed by experts to be involved in developing nuclear warheads, was damaged by Israeli airstrikes in March. Recent high-resolution photos show increased vehicle traffic and construction work, suggesting Iran is not just repairing the damage but also resuming normal operations there.

The Institute for Science and International Security warned that this activity could indicate Iran’s efforts to reestablish its nuclear weapons development capability after losing infrastructure from earlier attacks. Vehicles have been spotted around the compound between early September and early October, including cars parked outside security perimeters and trucks within, implying ongoing work despite the previous Israeli assault.
