Destruction after the US attack on nuclear objects in Iran is obvious, although it is difficult to assess how exactly the infrastructure was under the surface of the earth – said CNN Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (Maea) on Sunday.

“There are clear signs of impacts, but when it comes to assessing the degree of damage underground, we cannot comment on this matter” – emphasized Grossi. He added, however, that due to the observed changes in the shape of objects, “it cannot be ruled out that there are significant damage.”

The head of Maea admitted that the ground object in Natanz was “completely destroyed” and his underground objects “suffered very much” due to power outages as a result of Israeli attacks. The facility in Fordo – added Grossi – will not be damaged by power outages because it has internal emergency electricity sources. He repeated that the agency “did not have evidence that Iran had plans for nuclear weapons.”

The scale of the attack is reflected in satellite photos

Satellite photos illustrate the scale of damage to the American attack on Iran, including at least six craters near the underground uranium enrichment plant in Fordo, “New York Post” and the Times of Israel portal reported on Sunday.

The first satellite photos of the Iranian uranium enrichment center show that part of the mountain protecting the object was completely destroyed by American bombs“bunkers' conquerors,” said the American daily, publishing photos taken by Maxar Technologies.

The Times of Israel portal wrote that “bunker bunker “can break through to a depth of about 60 meters Under the surface before exploding.

“Once the brown slope of the mountain has become gray in some places, and the whole topography changed after the detonation of 14 bombs penetrating Massive Ordinance Penetator (MOP). Other high -resolution satellite photos suggest that Iran closed the entrances to the Ford tunnel before the attack.

The facility in Ford suffered “serious damage”, just like the second object in Isfahan, while the Nuclear Center in Natanz was destroyed – the sources of “Jerusalem Post” informed.

A spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Behrozu Kamalvandi assured in a commentary to the American attack that “the country's knowledge in the field of nuclear energy cannot be destroyed.” “Of course, we suffered damage, but this is not the first time the industry was destroyed,” he added.

Israel: We verify the effects of the US impact

Israel verifies the effects of the American raid on the Iranian Uranus enrichment plant in Fordo, but also runs its own strikes – an Israeli spokesman for the defense forces of General Efi Defin announced on Sunday.

Most of the highly enriched uranium, which was in Fordo, were transported from the attack of American troops from there, “Reuters said on Sunday, citing a high -ranking representative of the Iran authorities.

Defin asked at a press conference to comment on this message said that It is too early to confirm itand the Israeli troops still check the situation and verify the effects of the American raid.

A spokesman for the Israeli army did not answer the question about whether the American attack on Iran was a breakthrough heralding the rapid end of the war, but He assured that Israel would “continue its actions until he achieved its goals.”

Defin mentioned that this is the destruction of Iranian programs: atomic and ballistic missiles and the elimination of “existential threat” that this state is to Israel.


On the night of Saturday to Sunday, the US was attacked by three Iranian uranium enrichment plants in Ford, Natanz and Isfahanie. The United States has been joined by the Israeli offensive against Iran, whose declared goal is to destroy the atomic program of this country.
