In a bold move, Iran erects roofs over its bombed nuclear sites, keeping what remains hidden from U.S. satellites

Iran is taking dramatic steps to hide the damage inflicted by last year’s military actions, constructing massive roofs over structures at key nuclear facilities that the United States and Israel hit. According to a Fox News report, fresh satellite images show new coverings being built over two buildings at both the Isfahan and Natanz sites following the devastating June 2025 strikes.

This isn’t just routine repair work, and it’s awful for international transparency. These new coverings completely block satellites from seeing what’s happening on the ground inside these facilities. It’s significant because Iran hasn’t allowed inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit the sites since the attacks, meaning satellite imagery is currently the only way the world has to monitor the progress of their nuclear program.
