Alarming new satellite images show signs that the Iranian regime appears to be rebuilding its suspected nuclear facilities at Pickaxe Mountain and Parchin. Footage of both areas – which sustained extensive damage during US and Israeli-led bombing campaigns that began in late February – reveal “major signs” of activity, according to CNN, which obtained images from private firms. [snip] US and Israeli forces repeatedly targeted the Parchin site, which the Iranians had covered with a protective concrete shield, in the joint air campaign that was launched on Feb. 28. But a series of large blast holes, which were clearly visible on June 10, had been covered over 12 days later. By July 7, the damage was covered with mesh material and concrete mixer trucks were visible at the ready nearby. It shows “significant, new attempted reconstruction activity,” wrote David Albright, founder of the Institute for Science and International Security in a Saturday analysis of the information. [snip] The Parchin Military Complex has long been suspected of housing secret nuclear activities.International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors visited the site in 2004 and 2005, and said they were denied access to certain areas in 2006. Images show “significant, new attempted reconstruction activity” at suspected nuclear facilities.

Its Teleghan 2 site was hit twice in the latest phase of the Iran war – first around March 11, and then again sometime between March 24 and April 1, according to reports.

Meanwhile, satellites did not appear to pick up activity at some of Iran’s most notorious nuclear sites like Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan.
