According to images released by satellite technology company Maxar Technologies, on June 19, three days before the US military launched an airstrike, 16 trucks were spotted near the entrance tunnels of Iran's Fordow nuclear facility. The next day, these trucks had moved in a northwest direction, but other trucks and bulldozers were still visible at the entrance. The Open Source Center in London analyzed that Iran may have been preparing for a strike.
It is clear that Iran had a plan in place for the US airstrike and had previously transferred its nuclear facilities. After the airstrike, Iran's first response was that the US had bombed an empty shell. Even if it was an empty shell, it was enough to disrupt and delay Iran's nuclear development process.
The Open Source Center provided high-definition satellite images of the region after the US military attacked Iran's Fordow nuclear facility on June 22. By comparing the images before and after the strike, changes can be seen in the terrain above the Fordow nuclear facility. This includes ground subsidence along the ridge line and possible traces of missile entry on the side of the mountain.
Clearly, the intensity of this strike was extremely powerful.
From this, it can be judged that this strike caused catastrophic destruction to the infrastructure of the Fordow base.
However, Iran will not abandon its right to peacefully use nuclear energy, although it may take more time. The US strike has only remained at the level of destroying Iran's nuclear facilities.
