Alarming satellite images show construction near Iran missile bases: report
New York Post • • world
Key Points:
- Satellite images from November reveal that Iran is rapidly rebuilding missile bases at Garmdareh near Tehran and Shahroud in the north, both heavily damaged by US and Israeli airstrikes earlier this year.
- At least 12 additional military sites, including missile complexes and airbases, show signs of repair and new construction, with efforts to move critical infrastructure underground to protect against further attacks.
- Analysts suggest the excavations near Shahroud may be linked to missile production, as Iran seeks to safeguard its capabilities following repeated strikes on nearby airbases.
- The reconstruction pace indicates Iran is preparing for potential renewed attacks, despite a recent pause in US and Israeli strikes ahead of the US midterm elections.
- The US claims to have destroyed up to 90% of Iran’s missile and drone industrial base, but Iran maintains it still possesses large missile stockpiles and has resumed producing liquid-propellant ballistic missiles.
