New Satellite Imagery Reveals Ongoing Activity at Iran’s Fordow Nuclear Complex After U.S. Airstrikes

Newly released satellite imagery shows continued activity at Iran’s Fordow nuclear complex in the aftermath of U.S. airstrikes, raising concerns about Tehran’s ability to sustain critical nuclear operations despite recent damage.

The images, captured by private intelligence firms, display vehicle movement, security patrols, and signs of debris clearance around key structures targeted during the strikes. Analysts noted that while visible damage to infrastructure is apparent, Iran appears to be actively working to maintain operational capacity at the facility.

The Fordow complex, built deep within a mountain near the city of Qom, has long been a focal point of international concern due to its uranium enrichment capabilities. The U.S. strikes earlier this month were part of a broader campaign to degrade Iran’s nuclear infrastructure following heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington.

U.S. officials stated the operation was designed to limit Iran’s nuclear advancements while avoiding broader escalation. However, Iran has vowed to continue its enrichment program, insisting its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes.

The imagery’s release comes amid discussions in Washington and among allied nations over whether further measures are needed to prevent Iran from resuming or advancing its nuclear work. Defense analysts say the images underscore Iran’s resilience in maintaining core facilities despite direct strikes, complicating Western efforts to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
