Satellite imagery reviewed by Israeli and Western officials shows Iran has rapidly repaired infrastructure damaged during months of U.S. and Israeli strikes, including mountain missile bases, roads, ports and production facilities. Images near Kangavar show a newly paved road leading to re-excavated tunnel entrances within weeks, while crews north of Kermanshah repaired roads and reopened collapsed entrances by early June. Iran also began reopening tunnel mouths at Dezful and partially reconstructing the Raja Shimi missile-component plant near Tehran. Israeli officials said many strikes sealed entrances rather than destroying weapons stored underground, while advanced component plants could still take months or years to restore.
