An Israeli attack on Iran damaged facilities at two secretive military bases southeast of the Iranian capital.
Some of the damaged buildings sat in Iran’s Parchin military base, where the International Atomic Energy Agency suspects Iran in the past conducted tests of high explosives that could trigger a nuclear weapon.
The other damage could be seen at the nearby Khojir military base, which analysts believe hides an underground tunnel system and missile production sites.
Iran’s military has not acknowledged damage at either Khojir or Parchin from Israel’s attack, though it has said the assault killed four Iranian soldiers working in the country’s air defense systems.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did the Israeli military.
In the past, experts have linked one site to Tehran’s one-time nuclear weapons program and the other to its ballistic missile program.
It remains unclear how many sites in total were targeted in the Israeli attack. There have been no images of damage so far released by Iran’s military.
Iranian officials have identified affected areas as being in Ilam, Khuzestan, and Tehran provinces.
The most telling damage could be seen in Planet Labs images of Parchin, about 40 kilometers southeast of downtown Tehran near the Mamalu Dam. There, one structure appeared to be destroyed while others looked damaged in the attack.
At Khojir, about 20 kilometers away from downtown Tehran, damage could be seen on at least two structures in satellite images.
