A new analysis of commercial satellite imagery concludes Iran has moved beyond poststrike cleanup and begun repairing and reconstructing a key nuclear-related facility.

The move could raise questions about its commitment not to advance its nuclear program under the memorandum of understanding signed with the United States last month.

The imagery, analyzed in a report released Friday by the Institute for Science and International Security, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, was taken in June and early July at the Taleghan 2 nuclear site within the Parchin Military Complex about 36 miles southeast of Tehran.

The Taleghan 2 underground facility was struck twice during Operation Epic Fury, the first around March 11 and then sometime between March 24 and April 1, according to the Institute.

The first attack destroyed the main hardened facility, where the internal blast collapsed a defensive wall installed in front of it.

The shock wave and concussion from the attack also collapsed a support building just outside Taleghan 2.

Separately, other munitions destroyed a fire control and instrumentation building that was part of Taleghan 1. The second strike destroyed a nearby headquarters building.

The Institute said July imagery showed workers installing rebar mesh over the bomb penetration holes, a step it said appears intended to support a permanent reinforced concrete cap over the underground facility.

"This work shows a commitment by Iran to rebuild and reconstitute the capabilities previously lost, despite the immense damage at the site," the report stated. "This would be the second attempt at reconstruction.

"It was first destroyed in an Israeli airstrike in October 2024 and subsequently rebuilt with visible construction efforts starting in May 2025."

The report stated the site was not attacked in June 2025, during Israel's 12-day war with Iran, when U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers carried out Operation Midnight Hammer against Iranian nuclear facilities.

"It is not clear whether the facility had reached operational status by the time Israel destroyed it again in March. At that time, Iran was still working on hardening the site further, following the encasement in concrete and coverage by earth," the report stated.

"When the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] attacked the site, it described the site as one 'used by the Iranian regime to advance nuclear weapons capabilities,' and 'used in recent years to develop advanced explosives.'"

The memorandum of understanding established a 60-day framework while the sides worked toward a permanent agreement. Among its key provisions is Iran's reaffirmation that it will not develop nuclear weapons.

Iran also agreed not to advance its nuclear program during the 60-day negotiating period and to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency regarding the disposition of its enriched uranium.
