Satellite images revealed: Iran is rehabilitating a secret nuclear facility | Watch

A report by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) reveals that Iran is rehabilitating the secret nuclear facility at Min-Zada'i, about six months after the IDF attacked it in Operation "Im Kalev". The rubble has been cleared, the damage repaired, and vehicle traffic has returned to normal. The institute assesses that this is a top-priority effort to restore the core component that was destroyed.

A new report by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) in Washington, published on October 6, 2026, reveals that Iran is rehabilitating the secret nuclear facility at Min-Zada'i, near Tehran. About six months after the IDF attacked the facility in Operation "Im Kalev" in March 2026, destroying buildings and underground complexes, satellite images from September and October show that the rubble has been cleared, the damage to the hillside has been repaired, and vehicle traffic at the site has returned to normal. Earthworks are still ongoing in the bombed area. The institute notes that the renewed activity at this most secure facility suggests a top-priority effort to reestablish a nuclear weapons development capability and restore what was lost in the attack. The IDF previously stated that a group of nuclear scientists operated at the facility, developing a key component of the nuclear weapons system, and that the attack eliminated a core component of Iran's capability.
