Most building roofs don’t tell you that much. Especially in a city with multi-tenant buildings.
Taking satellite pictures at an angle though gives you quite a bit of information.
You’re telling me recon of the area never showed kids playing outside the building?!
What are they using, Google fucking maps?
It is very common for buildings in Iran to be surrounded by high cement walls and fully enclosed courtyards, even private residences. This is partly due to their oppressive regime and a desire to keep having parties and generally normal private indoor lives.
Because starlink can’t see over, amirite? Grfooh
No, it often cannot. That’s what I mean by “fully enclosed”, and I can see how you might have thought I just meant walls and no roof. I should have been more clear, but I was trying to differentiate between just having walls vs having full private enclosure for recreational spaces, which is common in Iran and also in a good chunk of other countries.
Schools or gyms often do have roofs as well, with vents or small/high windows for air circulation but no way to actually see inside because physical privacy is especially valued in Iran - not just because of the government but also because of cultural and religious traditions.
