Several comments that the planners are idiots and that's a desert and the Iranians can easily go off road parallel to the craters. Without DTED it's difficult to tell if they're in steep sided valleys or not.
I am presuming these are PGM strikes dropped by the 4 x B-1 mission out of Fairford.
(Shows how war has changed compared to the 21 bombs dropped diagonally across the runway at Stanley by Black Buck to ensure one on target)
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
