Satellite Images Disprove Trump's Claims of an “Easy Win” Against Iran

US President Donald Trump stated that the US would “easily win” a military confrontation with Iran. However, satellite images suggest that any victory would be difficult and short-lived. The images reveal that Iran is reinforcing its military and nuclear facilities, clearing debris from previous attacks and adding protective measures. Diplomats from the US and Iran are meeting in Geneva in an attempt to avert conflict, but Trump has stated he is ready to escalate. However, a potential US attack would face a dispersed and well-protected infrastructure, with targets hidden in mountainous regions. The US’s ability to destroy buildings does not mean it can eliminate scientific knowledge, essential materials, or Iran’s determination to rebuild. Importantly, Iran has stockpiled enriched uranium capable of making nuclear weapons, but its exact location and condition have not been verified for months due to the suspension of IAEA inspections. Analysts explain that the reinforcement of facilities demonstrates Iran’s resilience and its ability to recover from potential attacks. Sealing entrances to nuclear facilities aims to prevent collapse and protect vulnerable points. The lack of access for IAEA inspectors makes it difficult to assess the status of nuclear materials and ensure non-proliferation.
