US EditionExplainer: Key Facilities in Iran's Nuclear Program
IRAN, JUN 22 – The strikes targeted uranium enrichment sites critical to Iran's program, with the US claiming complete destruction and Iran confirming the attacks but minimizing damage.
- On June 22, 2025, the United States conducted airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites including the underground Fordow facility near Qom.

- Fordow, dug into a mountain and housing about 2,000 centrifuges enriching uranium up to 60%, is better protected than other sites including Natanz and Khondab reactor.
- President Trump called the attack a "very successful" strike on sites that the U.S. and U.N. say were part of a halted secret weapons program, while Iran denies weapon intentions.
- These attacks underscore escalating regional tensions amid Iran’s uranium enrichment expansions and pose risks for further instability in the nuclear dispute.
