Satellite images show about 28 craters cut into roads in Isfahan Province near the rescue site of the downed U.S. airman.

Each crater is around 9 meters wide and aligned to block access routes.

The site is roughly 20 km from the remote airstrip where U.S. forces destroyed damaged aircraft.

The strikes were likely meant to prevent Iranian forces from reaching the area during the rescue - CNN
