Iran Is at Work on Missile and Nuclear Sites, Satellite Images Show
(New York Times) Samuel Granados - Iran appears to have rapidly repaired several ballistic missile facilities damaged in strikes last year, but it has made only limited fixes to major nuclear sites struck by Israel and the U.S., a New York Times analysis of satellite imagery suggests. The analysis looked at two dozen locations struck by Israel or the U.S last June and found construction work at more than half of them. Intelligence assessments have found that Iran has largely rebuilt its ballistic missile program since the attacks in June. Sam Lair, a research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, said that the Shahroud missile test facility appeared to have been rebuilt particularly quickly and that it was believed to have become operational again within months of the strikes. "Shahroud is their largest and newest solid-propellant missile production plant," he said.
