Recent satellite imagery reveals that Iran has begun excavation and repair work at the Fordow nuclear site, which was damaged during recent US air strikes. Captured by Maxar Technologies, the images show heavy construction equipment working to fill craters and create new access roads. Analyst reports indicate that restoring access might allow Iran to assess the site’s integrity. The US air strikes were claimed to have severely disrupted Iran's nuclear capabilities, yet the quick response to undertake repairs suggests a determination to recover and resume operations.
New satellite images show construction equipment at Fordow, one of Iran's bombed-out nuclear sites. Efforts appear to be underway to repair damage and dig out new access paths.
One image captured excavators and bulldozers apparently moving dirt near craters and holes on the northern mountain ridge at Fordow.
If there wasn't a long-term strike campaign that prevented Iran from doing so, efforts to dig down to the facilities to re-establish access and supplies would likely begin almost immediately after a strike on its nuclear program.
President Donald Trump has said the strikes 'completely obliterated' the facilities, and Israel has determined that the strikes set Iran's program back significantly.
