Strike marks: Iran starts repairing on Fordo atomic site, shows new satellite images
A few days after the back-to-back US and Israeli attacks, Iran’s most firm atomic site looks busy because fresh satellite drawings reveal the extensive surface damage and ongoing reconstruction. The US and Israel have claimed that the Fordo atomic site, which is deeply inherent in a mountain near QOM, suffered a lot of damage, and fresh images indicate both to the intensity of the attack and recovering the Tehran.Images shared by Maxu Technologies captured the construction staff with excavations and bulldozers working near the northern shaft of the complex. Vehicles were seen repairing damaged access roads, and a crane appeared working directly above the main entrance. Satellite Visuals also captured burnt marks, scattered debris and many effects in a separate feature located in the north of Fordo.

Earlier on 22 June, the US dropped the “bunker buster” bomb, which targets Iran’s nuclear program in the underground stronghold, with advanced centrifugas. The next day, Israel continued that the authorities attacked the authorities described as a calculated bid to cripple the Iran’s nuclear speed.‘Very, very, very, quite loss’Talking to Radio France International, United Nations Nuclear Watchdog chief Rafael Gossi confirmed that the centrifuge in Fordo “is no longer on.” He said that “huge” destruction was incited by attacks.

Meanwhile, an internal DIA report flagged off “low confidence” that Iran’s nuclear program was permanently set back, but top US authorities quickly revolved around the wagons. CIA Director John Radcliffe and National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard rejected the dia leak, stating that Iran’s abilities were “severely damaged”.US President Donald Trump entered and announced that three nuclear sites in Iran: Fordo, Nataz and Isfahan were “oblique” and accused the mainstream media of reducing military success. “Fake news should be fired to everyone involved in this witch hunting,” he wrote on social media, directed special anger in New York Times and CNN to report leaked initial evaluation.

Tehran admitted the attacks, but ensures that its nuclear program is peaceful. Meanwhile, it was claimed that the Fordo strike did not lead to any nuclear result or contamination.Interestingly, it was revealed before and after images that the construction equipment was already present above the Fordow in hours before the bomb fell. Images suggested that Iran is carrying forward the content or trying to strengthen the facility. Vehicles were seen to leave the site, possibly sensitive materials were taken half miles away to a secondary place.
