Satellite imagery reveals at least six bomb entry points at Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment facility after U.S. bombers conducted strikes on Sunday morning. President Trump characterized the operations as complete obliteration of key nuclear sites, while Pentagon officials described the damage as 'extremely severe' but measured. Israel's assessments indicated the Isfahan site was annihilated, with Fordow and Natanz severely damaged. Experts advise caution in interpreting the damage due to various geological factors. Heat signatures detected near Fordow confirmed operational air defense system challenges prior to the strikes.
President Donald Trump said the strikes "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's three key nuclear facilities at Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz.
A senior Israeli official told The Post that an early assessment shows the nuclear site in Isfahan was "annihilated" and the facilities in Fordow and Natanz were "severely damaged."
Blast analysts cautioned against drawing conclusions too quickly, as underground impacts depend on a variety of factors, including depth of detonation and surrounding geology.
Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that as the B-2 stealth bombers carrying bunker-busting Massive Ordnance Penetrators approached Fordow and Natanz, U.S. forces deployed "suppression weapons" against any potential Iranian surface-to-air threats.
