Israel assesses consequences of US strikes on Iran

[Regnum] The US Air Force strike on the Iranian city of Fordow destroyed critical infrastructure, causing the uranium enrichment facility to be out of action. This was reported on June 25 by the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing the National Atomic Energy Commission.

"The devastating US attack on the Fordow facility destroyed key infrastructure and disabled the enrichment complex," the statement said.

The office added that, in their opinion, the US military strikes on Iranian targets, coupled with Israeli strikes, have set back Tehran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on June 22, American B-2 bombers attacked the Iranian cities of Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow. According to US President Donald Trump, the strikes allegedly hit Iranian nuclear facilities. At the same time, on June 25, American intelligence denied the words of the head of the White House about the destruction of the main components of the Iranian nuclear program.

In addition, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi noted on June 18 that there was no evidence that Tehran was developing nuclear weapons. The Iranian Foreign Ministry, in turn, called Washington's attack criminal, and the attacked facilities were peaceful and under IAEA control.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also condemned the American aggression and called the US attack unfounded, noting that there is no justification for it. He also said that Russia is working to help the Iranian people.

Iran says nuclear sites ‘badly damaged’ amid conflicting reports on strikes’ success

[IsraelTimes] Iran’s Foreign Ministry front man Esmail Baghaei on Wednesday confirmed the country’s nuclear facilities had been "badly damaged" in American strikes over the weekend, amid clashing evaluations on the extent of the success of operations against Tehran’s nuclear program.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Baghaei refused to go into detail but conceded the Sunday strikes by American B-2 bombers using bunker-buster bombs had been significant.

"Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that’s for sure," he said.

UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi said Wednesday that there is a chance much of Iran’s highly enriched uranium was moved by Tehran soon after the first strikes, and thus survived the attacks.

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
reportedly informed the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency on June 13, the first day of Israeli strikes, that it would take "special measures" to protect its nuclear materials and equipment.

"They did not get into details as to what that meant but clearly that was the implicit meaning of that, so we can imagine that this material is there," Grossi told a presser with members of the Austrian government.

Conclusive findings may take months, if they are obtained at all, a source told the US network.

s targeting Iran’s top military leaders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment sites and ballistic missile program. Israel said the campaign was necessary to prevent the Islamic Theocratic Republic from realizing its declared plan to destroy the Jewish state. On June 22, the US struck key Iranian nuclear facilities at Natanz, Fordo and Isfahan.

Iranian officials say more than 600 people were killed in the strikes, a figure that does not differentiate between civilians and members of Iran’s armed forces.

Iran retaliated for Israel’s attacks by launching over 550 ballistic missiles and around 1,000 drones at Israel. Iran’s missile attacks killed 28 people and maimed thousands in Israel, according to health officials. Missiles hit apartment buildings, two universities and a hospital, causing heavy damage. Iran also fired at a US base in Qatar

#1 Hopefully, right now, IMI is working on a bunker buster that's a fraction of size of American ones.

#2 Grom, the key to the construction of the bunker bombs is surplus artillery barrels. Seriously. That's what the original US ones were made out of.
