Satellite images show activity at Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility before U.S. air strikes
- Israel launched air strikes late on June 12 on Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile sites, scientists, and military assets in central Iran.
- The strikes followed satellite images released by Maxar Technologies showing unusual truck and bulldozer activity near the underground Fordow nuclear facility south of Tehran.
- U.S. forces joined the campaign with B-2 stealth bombers targeting the heavily fortified Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, which experts say are crucial to Iran’s nuclear program.
- President Trump hailed the strikes as an impressive military achievement that fully destroyed critical enrichment sites, although independent confirmation has yet to be established and the IAEA reported no radiation emissions.
- The attacks hindered monitoring efforts as Iran admitted relocating its enriched uranium stockpile to undisclosed sites, and the IAEA cautioned that confirming the quantities of Iran’s enriched uranium—amounting to close to 9 metric tons—has become significantly more challenging.

On Thursday, 16 trucks were se…
Satellite images showed a few hours before the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities that most of the enriched uranium in Fordo might have been removed.
