Iran's Strategic Preparations Before U.S. Strikes on Key Nuclear Sites
Before the U.S. military's strikes on Iran's Esfahan, Natanz, and Fordow facilities, satellite images from Maxar revealed a significant increase in logistical activity at the Fordow nuclear facility. Reports from June 19-20 show that 16 trucks and heavy machinery were stationed near the main facility's entrance, signaling potential preparations or security measures by Iran.
The Washington Post, citing these satellite images, highlighted the unusual concentration of vehicles and equipment at Fordow. Experts speculate that the heightened activity could indicate efforts to safeguard critical assets or accelerate operational capabilities in anticipation of the attack.
The strategic timing of the truck movement raises questions about Iran's readiness and response capabilities. Fordow, being one of Iran's most fortified underground uranium enrichment facilities, has always been central to Tehran's nuclear ambitions. The recent U.S. strikes targeting this and other facilities aim to disrupt those ambitions, but the increased pre-strike activity underscores Iran's resilience in protecting its infrastructure.
