US EditionAssessment Finds Only One of Iran's Three Nuclear Sites Destroyed in Operation Midnight Hammer
IRAN, JUL 17 – U.S. airstrikes delayed Iran's nuclear enrichment at Fordo by up to two years while Natanz and Isfahan sustained lighter damage, potentially allowing enrichment to resume within months, officials said.
- The U.S. launched strikes last month on three Iranian nuclear enrichment sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
- The strikes occurred amid U.S. claims Iran aims to develop nuclear weapons, while Iran insists its program is solely civilian.
- A U.S. assessment found the strikes mostly destroyed the Fordow site, significantly setting back enrichment there, but the other sites sustained minimal damage and could resume enrichment.
- President Trump called the strikes a “spectacular military success” and said Iran's key enrichment facilities were completely obliterated, while officials noted Operation Midnight Hammer severely damaged Iran's nuclear capabilities.
- The setbacks may delay Iran’s nuclear progress by months to years, but discussions continue about possible additional strikes if Iran rebuilds or refuses negotiations.
