Recent satellite imagery from Vantor shows that nearly all tunnel entrances at the Abyek/Alborz missile city, which collapsed during Operation Roaring Lion, have been restored, and new excavations are deeper and wider, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt.

Recent satellite imagery from the commercial firm Vantor, analyzed by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, shows that Iran has restored nearly all tunnel entrances at the Abyek/Alborz missile city that collapsed during Operation Roaring Lion. The new excavations are reportedly deeper and wider than before. Goldblatt notes that the pace of restoration is faster than anticipated.
The missile city, located northwest of Tehran, was struck during Operation Roaring Lion, a major Israeli-led operation in February 2026 that targeted dozens of Iranian missile bases and cities. As The Zioneer has previously reported, the operation caused significant damage to Iran's missile infrastructure, including the destruction of aircraft at Shiraz air base and the sealing of tunnel entrances at the Isfahan nuclear facility.
The current imagery offers a visual update on the status of the Abyek site.
