Satellite Images Show All Entrances to Irans Isfahan Nuclear Site Have Been Buried

Satellite imagery shows Iran blocked all three tunnel entrances at Isfahan nuclear site to protect sensitive materials amid rising regional tensions, experts say.

  • On Monday, high-resolution satellite images show the three main tunnel entrances at the Isfahan nuclear site were covered with soil and largely blocked, according to the Institute for Science and International Security.
  • Analysts say the sealing appears driven by defensive considerations to reduce damage from aerial attacks and complicate ground raids amid concern over possible American or Israeli airstrikes.
  • Imagery analysts note no vehicle or personnel activity is visible around the tunnels, and images also indicate the possibility that Iran transferred equipment or materials into the tunnels, though officials have not confirmed such moves.
  • U.S. diplomatic and military moves continued, including visits tied to the deployed USS Abraham Lincoln over the weekend arranged by Adm. Brad Cooper to support American forces.
  • The steps fit a pattern seen before when Iran converted 82 metro stations into shelters last month and began stockpiling fuel in trucks as civil-defense measures.
