Satellite images of Iran show fresh craters at nuclear site after US bombing

IRAN, JUN 23 – The US military used 75 precision weapons, including 14 bunker-buster bombs, to severely damage Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites in a coordinated operation with Israel, officials said.

  • The U.S. launched Operation Midnight Hammer on June 21, striking Iran's nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan with a large B-2 bomber raid and cruise missiles.
  • The strikes followed a week of Israeli attacks and aimed to disrupt Iran's nuclear program amid ongoing tensions and Iran moving nuclear materials to undisclosed locations.
  • Satellite images show fresh craters and possible tunnel collapses at Fordo, while the IAEA reported extensive damage at Isfahan and difficulty verifying uranium stockpiles after the raids.
  • Defense Secretary Hegseth called the operation the largest B-2 strike in U.S. history and urged peace, while experts noted the attacks complicate tracking Iran's nearly 9,000 kilograms of enriched uranium.
  • The bombing raised challenges for nuclear safeguards as uranium materials scattered and moved underground may impede IAEA verification, signaling ongoing strategic and diplomatic tensions.
