TL;DR

Satellite imagery firm Soar released two new videos providing detailed views of Iran's nuclear facilities in Isfahan province, according to the Abu Ali Express channel. The first shows Vantor images of the Isfahan facility, where entrances remain blocked with no sign of new activity. The second details vehicle movement at the Pickaxe Mountain tunnel complex near Natanz, in the same province.

01 · THE DISPATCH

New satellite imagery published Thursday by intelligence firm Soar provides an updated view of Iran's nuclear infrastructure in Isfahan province, the Abu Ali Express channel reports. The footage, sourced from Vantor satellite images, is divided into two segments.

The first segment shows the Isfahan nuclear facility, where tunnel entrances remain completely blocked and no fresh activity is visible. The site is assessed to store part of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile.

The second segment focuses on the Pickaxe Mountain tunnel complex, adjacent to the Natanz enrichment site in northern Isfahan province. Vehicle movement is visible in the footage, though the purpose of the activity has not been independently confirmed.

As The Zioneer reported in earlier bulletins this week, satellite imagery has consistently shown the Isfahan tunnel entrances buried under dirt since early 2026, following Israeli strikes in June 2025 and a subsequent U.S. operation. Tehran reportedly deliberately sealed the shafts to protect enriched uranium stores. The new Soar footage adds detail to the ongoing monitoring of activity, or lack thereof, at these sensitive sites.
