Satellite photos show activity at Iran nuclear sites as tensions rise over protest crackdown
Iran has installed roofs over damaged buildings at Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites to conceal salvage efforts after strikes, blocking satellite and inspection agency views.
- Satellite images from Planet Labs show roofs built over two damaged buildings at Isfahan and Natanz, marking the first major satellite activity since June, the Institute for Science and International Security reported January 29, 2026.
- Analysts say Iran's roofs and coverings likely aim to salvage and hide equipment amid soaring tensions over its crackdown and USS Abraham Lincoln deployments.
- Piling earth and debris, Iran re-buried the central tunnel entrance with fresh soil and dump truck convoys delivered earth while the northern tunnel entrance remained open on January 29, 2026.
- Those coverings block satellite observation, limiting monitoring since Iran has prevented International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors, and Natanz's electrical system appears still destroyed.
- Amid reconstruction efforts, satellite images show Iran sealing tunnel entrances and covering buildings, likely to obscure assets after last year's strikes that degraded Iran's nuclear program, the Institute for Science and International Security reported.
