Fresh satellite images show ongoing activity at Iran’s Fordow nuclear site

The recent airstrikes on Iran’s underground Fordow uranium enrichment site have caused significant damage, as revealed by new satellite imagery. The facility was targeted by Israeli forces on June 23, followed by U.S. strikes using bunker-buster bombs. The high-resolution satellite images from Maxar Technologies show ongoing activity at the site, with an excavator and personnel working near the northern shaft.

The photos also depict the destruction of a facility north of the site, along with craters and burn marks on access routes. Analysts believe that the goal of the strikes was to hinder access to the sites and complicate repair efforts. Both the U.S. and Israel have stated that the military actions were aimed at preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, while Iran maintains that its nuclear program is peaceful.

The Fordow site, located near Qom, was bombed by the U.S. on June 22, resulting in prominent craters and debris. Israel later conducted a second strike on the facility, targeting access roads. Gen. Dan Caine stated that the sites sustained severe damage, but a full assessment will take time.

The latest strike on Fordow is part of Israel’s ongoing efforts to degrade Iran’s military capabilities, including targeting the Evin prison and military command centers. The situation remains tense as tensions between Iran and the U.S. and its allies continue to escalate.
