So, it looks like the Iranians filled the entrance to the facility with a bunch of dirt. If that is true, now you're talking about something very different than a quick raid.
Quick is relative, not talking about Abbottabad, I always assumed many days for that hypothetical contingency. Again not a typical SOF DA kind of thing, it would have to resemble a major muscle movement.

As always, intel and planning would be crucial.
