The construction projects suggest Tehran has no intention of ending its nuclear program
Iran has spent the past several months fortifying two nuclear sites against an aerial strike and excavating areas the United States and Israel destroyed last June, according to recent satellite imagery analyzed by the Institute for Science and International Security.
The Islamic Republic has been burying its new Taleghan 2 facility at its Parchin military complex, under construction since May 2025, since at least September 2025. The activity has continued through February, with crews "visibly pouring fresh concrete" around the area and piling soil on top of a structure that likely contains sensitive equipment. Similar efforts are underway at the Esfahan nuclear complex, which the United States and Israel badly damaged in their strikes against the regime's nuclear program last year. Satellite photos from the end of January show the Islamic Republic "re-burying the southernmost and the middle entrances with soil."
The movement around these locations suggests that Iran is making preparations for another conflict with the United States and seeking to protect whatever remains of its nuclear sites after the U.S.-Israeli campaign last year. The evidence also indicates that Tehran's hardline regime has not scaled back its nuclear pursuits, defying President Donald Trump's statement that a good deal with Iran would mean "no nuclear weapons, no missiles."

Under ground bunkers must have entrances and ventilation shafts.
And electricity
Do they think we can’t just hit them again? even harder.
Theirs would have a doorway straight to Hell.
Negotiations with Islamists is a dead end….one way or another.
Military defeat is the best bet especially when they want YOU dead.
The US is the great satan.
Just ask Obama and his band of demonic democrat pawns.
They even use bioweapons to get what they want no matter how many they kill.
Precisely.

And hookers.
They already have one. They call it a 'well'.
Last year when Israel and the USA attacked Iran’s nuclear sites how many planes and casualties occurred on our side? Israel did not do strategic bombing but took out air defenses with great skill. Then the Great Bat (The B2) dropped precision bombs. It worked
For those of poor memory the number was ZERO loses of planes nor men.

Dropping off bombs on it, eventually they will go through.
I well remember sitting upstairs with Ali and his dad and friends. The room was warmed and Tea was served and caviar on crackers. It was all delicios. The tea was not sweetened. Rock sugar was severed. One put the rock beneath the lips and then drank the tea. I most loved the Souk. I could go there in perfect safety and also loved the National Museum. It was magnificent. Sadly that is nor more. My playmate next door in 1960 with the name of Ali, is probably dead. His dad was the police loyal to the Shah. Thus probably dead many years ago. I hope I am wrong about Ali We were just kids and friends. He was my friend.
