Amidst growing military tensions between Iran and the United States, experts are warning that a war could erupt in the Middle East at any time, potentially lasting for weeks. In response to this escalating threat, Iran has begun a large-scale lockdown of its most sensitive military and nuclear sites as a precautionary measure. While discussions between the two nations continue in Geneva, Iran is taking significant steps to secure its critical installations.

Recent satellite analysis from the Institute for Science and International Security indicates that Iran has been rapidly moving to bury its essential nuclear sites beneath concrete and soil. This construction is aimed at transforming these sites into robust bunkers to withstand any potential aerial attacks by the U.S. The report highlights that locations previously targeted by Israel and later anticipated to be struck by the U.S. in 2024 are now undergoing accelerated construction and fortification efforts.

The situation is particularly focused on the Parchin military complex, where Iran has been busy reinforcing a new Talaghan 2 facility by covering it with earth. This urgency in sheltering critical military assets reflects Iran's concern over possible military action from the U.S., emphasizing the heightened state of alert within the region, as both nations navigate the intricate political landscape amidst ongoing diplomatic talks in Geneva.
