New satellite imagery shows that Iran has been removing debris from a blocked tunnel entrance at a subterranean missile base near Tabriz.

Digital mapping platform SoarAtlas says the Airbus images show equipment at the blocked tunnel entrance, “with a line of dump trucks waiting nearby as crews work to restore access.”

Additional satellite imagery published by SoarAtlas shows “active debris removal” from another missile base in Khomeyn.

In an effort to reduce Iran’s ballistic missile fire during the war, the Israeli and American militaries struck and collapsed tunnel entrances at underground Iranian bases, to prevent Iran from bringing out missiles and launchers stored there.
