Satellite Imagery Reveals New Construction Around Iranian Missile Centers

AI SUMMARY

Satellite imagery shows Iran conducting new construction and repairs at key missile centers and military bases following months of airstrikes.

Satellite imagery from November shows new construction and excavation at the Garmdareh military base near Tehran and the Shahroud military base in northern Iran.
Repair work is underway at at least 12 other military locations, including missile centers and air force bases.
At the Kermanshah missile site near the Iraqi border, new roofs are being installed on buildings destroyed in previous attacks.
At the Parchin military center, damaged structures and debris have been cleared, and significant construction work has been completed at the Taleghan-2 facility.
Damage to an underground bunker at the Taleghan-2 facility has been repaired and reinforced with concrete.
Former CIA analyst Jim Lamson stated that excavations near Shahroud could be related to missile production and attempts by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to move facilities underground.
Defense analysts noted that Iran frequently moves infrastructure underground to protect it from attacks and to obscure operational capabilities from outside observers.
