Satellite Images Indicate Iran Working to Salvage Nuclear Materials from Damaged Sites

New imagery assessments pointed to covered work areas and freshly installed roofing at damaged facilities linked to Iran’s nuclear program. The structures appeared intended to shield activity from observation as crews probed debris fields, assessed equipment, and evaluated whether sensitive materials could be recovered. External inspectors have not been granted access, leaving much of the on-the-ground picture unclear.

Experts said the visible work suggested controlled salvage rather than rapid reconstruction, including steps to manage rubble and restrict movement around key entrances. Tunneling and protective measures were also noted near known underground sites, reflecting a focus on safeguarding what remains and limiting transparency. Such activity, while not conclusive, aligns with a pattern of opacity and efforts to keep critical processes away from outside scrutiny.

The developments complicate diplomacy and intensify calls for pressure to prevent any residual weaponization pathway from surviving recent strikes. With access limited, analysts warned that concealment measures—however practical—undermine confidence and fuel perceptions that Tehran is trying to preserve capabilities despite damage.
