Iran is moving with unexpected speed to repair critical infrastructure damaged during recent military strikes, according to satellite imagery and regional reporting.
Images from Planet Labs and Airbus show that tunnels and access roads near Kangavar, which were heavily damaged in March, have been largely restored within weeks.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Tehran has already rebuilt much of the infrastructure destroyed by US-led air raids, signaling a determination to maintain logistical capabilities despite the conflict.
The physical repairs coincide with a stabilization in regional shipping flows.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval forces confirmed on Wednesday that commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has recovered to half of its pre-war volume.
This partial normalization suggests that while risk premiums remain elevated, the immediate threat of a total chokepoint closure has receded, allowing energy markets to price in a more stable, albeit constrained, supply environment.
