Fearing a Ground Invasion, Iran Seals Off Isfahan Nuclear Tunnels
JFeed ^ | 10 April 2026 | Bianca Jones

Posted on 04/10/2026 9:36:47 AM PDT by MeanWestTexan

New high-resolution commercial satellite imagery shows Iran has further fortified the underground tunnel complex at its Isfahan nuclear facility.

According to an analysis released yesterday (April 9, 2026) by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), images taken on April 8 reveal makeshift roadblocks and added physical barriers now installed directly in front of all three tunnel entrances. These include earth berms, debris, fencing, and other obstacles specifically designed to slow or prevent ground access.

The entrances themselves were already completely buried with soil back in February. ISIS assesses this is not preparation to reopen the site for operations, but rather a deliberate lockdown to protect it against potential airstrikes or special-forces raids.

That'll totally work.

Also, the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) needs to change its name.

I don’t know.

It’s exceptionally hard to do a damage assessment of something buried in tunnels deep underground, to boot.

So you really don’t know what you’ve done.

What it would take to keep it buried is to monitor it constantly and bomb it anytime someone showed up with a backhoe.

Years ago I worked for a home builder and on weekends some of the little bastards in the development like to pull the STOP signs out and toss them in the weeds.

So a couple of empty five gallon Spackle pails full of QuickCrete(concrete mix, not mortar) and toss in a few bits of rebar, put the stop sign in and bury it.

That ended their fun. And I hope they ended up with a hernia.

“makeshift roadblocks and added physical barriers now installed directly in front of all three tunnel entrances”

“to protect it against potential airstrikes”

Uhhh, what? How does THAT work?

They will leave the roadblocks and just nail the tunnel/underground structure.

In Afghanistan, we called it “mowing the lawn”.
