Satellite imagery reveals Iran employing heavy equipment to excavate the entrances to its underground missile bases, specifically to dig out missile launchers that became trapped during the recent conflict. Recent U.S. intelligence estimates that roughly half of Iran's missile launchers remain intact after a month of fighting, with many likely still operational. This activity occurs during the ceasefire, indicating Iran's efforts to restore its military capabilities. The operations are focused on clearing rubble and accessing launchers in tunnels, highlighting ongoing post-war recovery.
