Iran’s nuclear facilities damaged but not destroyed, experts say

  • On June 13, Israel launched air strikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, missile factories, and military commanders in a prolonged operation from Natanz to Fordow and Isfahan.
  • The strikes aimed to prevent Tehran from developing atomic weapons, while Iran denied pursuing nuclear bombs and damage at underground sites like Fordow remained unclear.
  • Satellite imagery showed moderate damage at the above-ground Natanz pilot enrichment plant and some power supply buildings, but no visible harm at deeply buried Fordow or Isfahan facilities.
  • Experts reported killed Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists, noted possible centrifuge damage from power loss, but said the status of Iran's enriched uranium stocks remained unknown; Grossi said radioactivity levels stayed normal.
  • Analysts questioned if strikes can fully prevent a nuclear breakout, with some suggesting Israel may need U.S. military support using bunker busters like B2 bombers if Iran refuses negotiations.
