Satellite imagery indicates that Iran is restoring underground missile bases during the ongoing ceasefire, clearing debris and reopening access points after recent US and Israeli strikes. Operations are being conducted at key entry sites near Khomeyn and Tabriz, suggesting an attempt to recover or redeploy missile launchers. This activity is likely aimed at preserving Iran's capabilities and maintaining leverage in future negotiations.
Satellite images indicate that Iran is using the ceasefire to excavate and rebuild missile bases destroyed by US and Israeli airstrikes. Trucks and heavy machinery were observed at the sites, clearing debris and transporting it away. This suggests Iran is attempting to salvage its remaining missile launchers during the temporary truce.
Iran reportedly purchased a Chinese-built surveillance satellite, the TEE-01B, to map U.S. bases in the Middle East and monitor them before and after recent missile and drone attacks. This suggests Iran possesses an independent orbital intelligence capability, potentially impacting future regional conflicts. The lack of official comment from the U.S. and other involved parties has heightened international scrutiny.
A report claims Iran used a Chinese spy satellite to target US bases in the Middle East. The satellite, acquired by the IRGC, was reportedly used to monitor US military sites and coincided with IRGC-claimed drone and missile attacks. China denied the report, but the White House did not immediately comment.
