Iran under siege? Satellite shows Tehran burying nuclear entrances, US missile launchers ready

Satellite imagery indicates the United States has deployed a full THAAD missile defense battery to the Muwaffaq Al-Salti Air Base in Jordan, marking a significant expansion of regional air defenses. Analysts say the system includes six launchers, an AN/TPY-2 radar and command units, providing up to 36 interceptors against ballistic threats. The Pentagon has also reinforced Patriot batteries in Qatar, with missiles loaded onto mobile launchers for rapid deployment. The buildup comes as Washington considers sending a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East and as Israel warns Iran could restore up to 2,000 missiles within months, ahead of renewed U.S.–Iran talks in Oman.
