Iran Scrambles At Fordow Nuclear Site After US Strike – What Do The New Satellite Images Reveal? | World News
Yeni Delhi: Silence remained after bombing for 16 days. Now, fresh satellite images captured on June 29 show the rush of construction. Craters are filled. The roads have just been carved. Trucks and cranes are the place where shelter bombs hit as clusters-tams near the eastern edge.
This is the Fordow site that was targeted by US Stealth bombers during a large common air campaign with Israel at the beginning of this month. Israel began strikes on June 13 and hit both nuclear and military assets in Iran. The United States soon joined the United States and uploaded B-2s gigantic ammunition penetrators. Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, three columns of Iran’s Uranium program, were shot.
Iran initially rejected the damage. Authorities, the facilities remained intact, he said. However, Maxar Technologies’ satellite images tell a different story.
In the last image, a backhoe is transported to a carved tunnel on the slope. Trucks sort the damaged environment. The entrance gate – is once surrounded by scaffolding – once the pepper is with shrapnel.
Nuclear experts, who examined previous photos taken on June 28, believe that Iran has buried craters or collects radiological examples. “Something happened there,” they said.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump declared victory. Speaking at a campaign stop on June 22, he claimed that America “destroyed” Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. “Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan – Gone. Now they are in the Stone Age,” he said.
Iran’s high leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei does not agree. In a speech on TV on June 26, he mocked the US president’s words. “Praise, but nothing was achieved. They’re all exaggeration,” he said.
However, the activity on the ground means urgency. A photo shows the cranes directly parked to what analysts say they can be buried in centrifugal halls. Another image reveals that new access roads have been discarded on the burned land.
Operation-‘midnight Hammer ‘coded-seven B-2, including 125 aircraft. Fourteen shelter bombs were used. Each one weighs 14,000 kg.
Two days after the strikes, Trump declared a ceasefire on June 24th. Iran refused to accept one. However, diplomacy whispers appeared. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister said that the US sent words through intermediaries to continue the contract. “First, the US should guarantee that there will be no more strikes,” he warned.
Now, all the eyes have returned to Fordow. He sits buried under a reinforced mountain against attacks. Nevertheless, in less than an hour, B-2 bombing planes changed their future. What happened later depends on what survived under that rubble and whether Iran dug it back.
