forward with the reconstruction of the Taleghan 2 facility," located at the Parchin military complex, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) southeast of Tehran. Taleghan 2 was struck by Israel in October 2024, during a retaliation for an Iranian missile attack on Israel earlier that month, and bombed again by the Israeli Air Force in March amid the recent war, after the military said Iran had been restoring the site following the first strikes. The IDF has said that in recent years, Iran used the site for "the development of advanced explosives and for conducting sensitive experiments as part of the AMAD Project," Iran's alleged secret nuclear weapons development program. Western intelligence has suggested Tehran carried out tests relevant to nuclear bomb detonations there more than two decades ago. In its latest report, the institute says Vantor Technologies satellite imagery from September 13 shows that "Iran has erected a tarp above the destroyed hardened buried facility, hiding the reconstruction activity that is occurring underneath from satellite view or aerial reconnaissance." "Significant activity can be seen throughout the construction site. Construction vehicles, including dump trucks, bulldozers, concrete pump trucks and concrete mixers, and cranes, are actively working to rebuild the facility," the report says. The institute notes that in June 2026, initial repair work took place at Taleghan 2, with Iran "repairing and placing concrete caps over the penetration holes caused by the multiple bunker buster weapons dropped on the facility" by the Israeli Air Force. The images show that Iran has also built a new "concrete apron reinforcement on the right side of the facility," which the report says will "provide additional blast protection from an aerial attack."
Iran treibt den Wiederaufbau einer Nuklearanlage, die zuvor von Israel bombardiert worden war, rasch voran. Das geht aus Satellitenbildern hervor, die in einem Bericht des Institute for Science and International Security zitiert werden. Das Institut, das unter dem Namen ISIS bekannt ist, erklärt, Iran mache „rasche Fortschritte beim Wiederaufbau der Anlage Taleghan 2“, die sich auf dem Militärkomplex Parchin etwa 30 Kilometer südöstlich von Teheran befindet. Taleghan 2 wurde im Oktober 2024 von Israel getroffen, als Vergeltungsmaßnahme für einen iranischen Raketenangriff auf Israel Anfang desselben Monats, und im März während des jüngsten Krieges erneut von der israelischen Luftwaffe bombardiert, nachdem das Militär erklärt hatte, Iran habe den Standort nach den ersten Angriffen wiederhergestellt. Die IDF erklärte, Iran habe den Standort in den vergangenen Jahren für „die Entwicklung fortschrittlicher Sprengstoffe und die Durchführung sensibler Experimente im Rahmen des AMAD-Projekts“ genutzt, dem mutmaßlichen geheimen iranischen Programm zur Entwicklung von Atomwaffen. Westliche Nachrichtendienste vermuten, dass Teheran dort vor mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten Versuche durchgeführt hat, die für die Zündung von Atombomben relevant waren. In seinem jüngsten Bericht erklärt das Institut, Satellitenbilder von Vantor Technologies vom 13. September zeigten, dass „Iran eine Plane über der zerstörten, unterirdisch befestigten Anlage errichtet hat, die die darunter stattfindenden Wiederaufbauarbeiten vor dem Blick von Satelliten oder der Luftaufklärung verbirgt“. „Auf dem gesamten Baugelände ist umfangreiche Aktivität zu erkennen. Baufahrzeuge, darunter Muldenkipper, Bulldozer, Betonpumpenwagen und Betonmischer, sowie Kräne arbeiten aktiv am Wiederaufbau der Anlage“, heißt es in dem Bericht. Das Institut weist darauf hin, dass im Juni 2026 erste Reparaturarbeiten an Taleghan 2 stattgefunden hätten und Iran dabei gewesen sei, „die durch die von der israelischen Luftwaffe auf die Anlage abgeworfenen Bunkerbrecherbomben verursachten Durchschlagslöcher zu reparieren und mit Beton abzudecken“. Die Bilder zeigen, dass Iran außerdem eine neue „Betonverstärkung der Vorfeldfläche auf der rechten Seite der Anlage“ errichtet hat, die laut dem Bericht „zusätzlichen Schutz vor der Druckwelle eines Luftangriffs bieten“ soll.

Iran is rapidly advancing the reconstruction of a nuclear facility that was previously bombed by Israel, according to satellite images cited in a report by the Institute for Science and International Security.
