US Bombs Iran's Underground Nuclear Facilities; Israel: Still Confirming the Results of the Air Strike
"AFP Jerusalem, 22nd" After the US military bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities, the Israeli military said today that it is assessing the results of the US bombing on the Fordo underground nuclear facility. It stated that it is "premature" to determine whether the stockpile of enriched uranium has been destroyed.
When asked by reporters if Iran had already moved the enriched uranium away from Fordo or if the US attack had buried it under the rubble, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Devrin responded: "We are still confirming the situation. It is premature to draw conclusions. I think we will know later." Earlier, US President Trump announced that the United States had attacked three major Iranian nuclear facilities, including Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
The Fordo fuel enrichment plant was built in violation of UN resolutions and is located near the holy city of Qom in central Iran. The entire facility is built deep inside a mountainside, about 90 meters underground, and can accommodate approximately 3,000 centrifuges.
The Israeli military also said today that there are "other targets" within Iran, and plans to continue the attack. Devrin stated at a press conference: "We have other targets, and we will continue our efforts until all objectives are achieved."
