Vehicles and obstacles on the road: new satellite images of the nuclear sites have been revealed

Today (Wednesday), the Reuters news agency distributed new satellite images of Iran’s nuclear sites. The photos survey the various nuclear facilities, and show a close-up view of the tunnel openings.

In the video that compiles the satellite images, we first see the nuclear facility in Natanz. Also, a close-up photo of the tunnel entrances at Mount Pickax in the area was shown. Later, Reuters showed vehicles at the western entrance to the tunnel.

The video also showed images from the underground enrichment plant in Purdue, and obstacles were seen on the road on the way to the nuclear site. In addition, photos from the site in Isfahan and the nearby tunnels were shown.

In May, satellite images of Mount HaPikas in Iran, south of the Natanz nuclear facility, were published. The photographs raised questions about the activity taking place in the underground complex. According to the documents of the Institute for International Security and Research, as early as April 22, it appears that the two entrances to the eastern tunnels in the complex were partially blocked with dirt designed to prevent vehicle access to the entrances.

In earlier pictures, from April 1, the tunnel openings were seen completely open and unobstructed. Although the material placed in place does not completely hide the entrances to the tunnels, it may still make it very difficult for vehicles to enter and exit quickly.

This activity raised big questions, mainly because it is a complex of tunnels buried deep underground and can be used to protect very valuable equipment or materials. Earlier this year, additional activity was already detected in the area, when old tunnel openings in the complex, which according to reports have been active since 2007, were buried and reinforced with concrete.

Defense Minister Israel Katz spoke today at the state memorial ceremony in memory of the victims of the Second Lebanon War and threatened the possibility of attacking Iran once more. Iranian Foreign Minister Arakchi reacted sharply to Israel Katz’s threat and said: “Trump promised to curb his pets in Tel Aviv – if he doesn’t do it, we will do it.”

“The events of October 7 illustrated to all of us one clear truth: we must not wait until the threat knocks on the doors of our homes,” Minister Katz said at the ceremony.

After the exchange of threats, Saudi reports claimed that the US and Iran had reached an agreement on the release of billions of dollars in frozen assets. President Trump also addressed the Iranian issue in a conversation with reporters, saying that “Iran’s denuclearization is progressing well. Had some good meetings and we’ll see how it goes. They prepared hard for nights, but things are going well, and oil prices are now falling.”
