TEHRAN\u2014<\/strong> New satellite imagery suggests that a hardened facility associated with Iran\u2019s nuclear program may have been struck during the latest wave of airstrikes. Analysts reviewing the images observed three large and highly precise impact craters at the Taleghan 2 complex, a location tied to long-standing concerns about nuclear weapons-related activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspected strike has raised questions about whether United States Air Force (USAF)<\/a> stealth bombers used heavy bunker-buster bombs to penetrate the reinforced structure. Long-range military operations supporting the campaign often operate through regional aviation hubs such as Al Udeid Air Base and Al Dhafra Air Base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taleghan 2 Strike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest images reveal three large impact points concentrated on the surface of the Taleghan 2 complex. The spacing and precision of these craters resemble damage patterns previously observed at other Iranian nuclear facilities targeted in earlier operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior imagery from late 2025 shows the site before additional fortification work began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By early 2026, satellite monitoring confirmed that the structure had been encased in new concrete and covered with soil layers, likely intended to improve protection against air-delivered munitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last two to three weeks, Iran has been busy burying the new Taleghan 2 facility at the Parchin military complex with soil. Once the concrete sarcophagus around the facility was hardened, Iran did not hesitate to move soil over large parts of the new facility.\u00a0 More soil\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/LWSrCnDdfy<\/a><\/p>— Inst for Science (@TheGoodISIS) February 17, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote>
