Satellite images of Iran show fresh craters at nuclear site after US bombing
- On June 21, 2025, the U.S. launched Operation Midnight Hammer, bombing three Iranian nuclear sites: Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
- The strikes followed a week of missile exchanges between Iran and Israel, and the Trump administration authorized the attacks despite lacking Congressional approval.
- The raids involved over 125 aircraft, including B-2 stealth bombers deploying 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, with missile strikes creating fresh craters and extensive damage seen in satellite images.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated, "Now is the time to come forward with peace," while the IAEA warned the strikes complicated uranium tracking and may cause radioactive contamination.
- The attack severely damaged known Iranian nuclear infrastructure but likely pushed Iran to hide materials deeper, complicating future monitoring and risking reduced IAEA cooperation.
