US EditionHow Badly Have U.S. Strikes Damaged Iran’s Nuclear Facilities?
- On 22 June, the United States launched surprise airstrikes using B-2 bombers and cruise missiles on Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites.
- The bombings aimed to dismantle Iran's nuclear weapons capability amid concerns about rapid weaponisation, though recent intelligence questions if weaponisation had advanced.
- Satellite imagery and expert analyses revealed extensive damage including at least 18 destroyed structures, multiple large craters, and significant hits to uranium conversion and enrichment facilities.

- The strikes set back Iran’s nuclear program substantially by destroying industrial-scale centrifuge cascades but may also push Iran to accelerate nuclear bomb development despite longstanding political hesitations.

Last Saturday, hours before two U.S. B-2 bombers attacked the uranium enrichment plant at Fordow that night, about 96 kilometers south of Tehran, a satellite photographed the entrance of that buried site at a depth of 80 to 100 meters.
