🇮🇷The #Fordow Nuclear plant near the holy Shiite city of #Qom, which is said to be an inaccessible target for Israel, is indeed a seriously protected facility, and if the United States can qualitatively change something in the current conflict by intervening on the side of Israel, then this is exactly the case.
What to hit a buried object in a mountainous area with? The MOP – Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a 14-ton aerial bomb capable of penetrating up to 60 meters of soil, was developed specifically for such purposes in the United States. Considering that Fordow is reportedly deeper, more than one bomb will be needed. Of all the American aircraft, only the B-2 can carry it now. And here, of course, the biggest intrigue is whether the United States will really dare to strike and how effective it will be – this bomb must be dropped directly over the target, and in the Fordow area Iran has everything that can perform air defense tasks.

The attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities was practiced a year ago during joint US-Israeli exercises , ABC News reported per an Israeli source.
Israel and the US practiced conducting airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during the Biden administration, an Israeli source with direct knowledge of the matter confirmed to ABC News on Sunday morning. The exercises simulated offensive actions against Iranian nuclear facilities for the first time.
While the practiced and war-gamed scenario was planned in cooperation with former president Joe Biden's administration, "we did not think a year ago that this would happen now," the source commented.

🇮🇷 | What happened?
Trump announced on Truth Social that U.S. forces had carried out a major coordinated airstrike on Iran’s nuclear program, claiming successful hits on three key #nuclear sites: Fordow, #Natanz, and Isfahan. According to him, a “full payload of bombs” was dropped on Fordow, and all aircraft have returned safely, calling it a great victory and saying, “Now is the time for peace.” However, Iranian state media quickly responded, confirming that no enriched uranium was present at the sites during the attack, as it had been removed in advance as part of precautionary radiation safety measures. The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) confirmed there is no radiation leakage risk, and core infrastructure remains secure.
Attack Timeline (#Tehran Time):
• Pre-1:00 AM – Israeli drones activated Iranian air defense systems across several regions.
• 1:14 AM – Fighter jets were heard over Shiraz.
• 1:22 AM – Multiple aircraft noises were reported over central Iran.
• 2:04 AM – Two jets and a blast were heard near #Qom, where the Fordow facility is located.
• 2:13 AM – Another explosion near Kashan, close to Fordow.
• 2:38 AM – Loud explosion at Fordow, initially assumed to be drone interception.
• 2:41 AM – Explosion at Isfahan’s Atomic Energy site.
• 2:46 AM – Explosion at #Natanz nuclear facility.
• 2:55 AM – Widespread #GPS jamming observed throughout Iran.
Despite Trump’s claims of destruction, Iranian officials and local media presented a completely different account. The Tasnim News Agency dispatched a reporter to #Fordow immediately after the announcement. According to eyewitnesses:
• No massive explosions were heard.
• The area sounded similar to previous air defense activity, with no significant blast.
• No smoke, no fire, and no structural ruins were visible.
• Roads between Qom, Kashan, and Isfahan remain open with normal traffic flow.
• Provincial authorities confirmed minor damage but no impact on the core nuclear infrastructure.
• No radiation contamination has been recorded in the area.
According to Fox News, the attack utilized 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. submarines 400 miles away, along with six bunker-busting bombs. However, sources now suggest the strike was more of a strategic signaling effort, intended to pressure Iran rather than achieve tactical annihilation. Fordow’s fortified depth and location under a mountain make it one of the world’s most hardened targets.
The strike came on the eve of a scheduled meeting in Geneva between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and his French, German, and British counterparts. Iran interprets this as an attempt to coerce Tehran into concessions, especially concerning its missile program and support for resistance movements — both of which Araqchi had explicitly ruled out as non-negotiable.
If Fordow had truly been destroyed, one would expect to see unmistakable signs: massive craters, electromagnetic disruptions, emergency medical airlifts, seismic readings, and infrared fire signatures from under the mountain. Instead, what surfaced was a tweet from an account linked to northern Israel, falsely declaring “Fordow is gone.”
There is no SAR confirmation, no crater clustering, no multispectral flash data, no BDA (Battle Damage Assessment), and no underground combustion signatures. The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Fordow was not seriously impacted, and Iran’s nuclear program remains intact.
This may be the most expensive influence operation in bunker-busting history, one that not only failed to destroy its intended targets, but also handed Iran a propaganda victory. In military terms, Washington just escalated with zero strategic gain, while Tehran emerges emboldened, unscathed, and ready to climb the escalation ladder.
Death to America!

🇮🇷 | Fordow Nuclear Site: Only Minor Damage Confirmed:
High-resolution satellite imagery from June 21, 2025, indicates that Iran was actively preparing the Fordow nuclear facility for a potential strike. Entrance tunnels were seen being deliberately filled with earth using trucks and diggers—a strategic move designed to absorb blast impact and prevent deep penetration from bunker-busting bombs or missiles. Blocking these tunnels reduces the effect of shock waves and protects critical underground infrastructure.
In a significant precautionary step, all uranium enrichment centrifuges were removed from Fordow one day before the attack and transferred to an undisclosed location. As of now, there is no confirmation of deep damage to the facility. Only superficial harm was recorded, limited to surface-level entrances. There are no signs of internal explosions, crater clusters, electromagnetic disruption, radiation leaks, or seismographic activity. This absence of physical evidence directly contradicts Trump’s claims of total destruction.
If Fordow had been truly destroyed, the world would have witnessed emergency airlifts, infrared flares from beneath the mountain, and widespread panic over radiation. Instead, what was presented was a tweet, reportedly from an Israeli-linked account, claiming Fordow was “gone.” The reality on the ground tells a different story.
Iranian officials and media now describe the strike as a largely symbolic act of psychological warfare. Not only did the attack fail to eliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities, it may have backfired—allowing Iran to justify major retaliatory and strategic shifts.
In direct response, Iranian Foreign Policy Committee Chief Abbas Golroo has stated that Trump’s actions have provided Tehran with a legitimate basis to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty under Article 10. This clause permits member states to leave the treaty if extraordinary events jeopardize their supreme national interests.
Means, the strike on Fordow did not achieve its intended goal. Iran’s nuclear program remains intact, now likely more dispersed and harder to detect. The attempted show of force by the United States may result in the very outcome it sought to prevent: Iran abandoning diplomatic constraints and advancing its nuclear doctrine with full regional and international justification.

🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇮🇱 This is Fordow before and after.
3 large holes in the mountain protecting Iran's Fordow enrichment plant were seen on new satellite imagery.
➡️ The CLAIMED 12 GBU-57 hence did not hit the same spot, reducing the chance of serious damage to the facility.
➡️ Iran now faces a clear non-zero risk of Israel guiding a ☢️-tipped Golden Horizon high-precision aero-ballistic-missile into the deepest hole.

🇮🇷New @maxar satellite imagery shows large crater at #Natanz Nuclear Facility in #Iran. It matches the size of the bunker-busting bomb craters at #Fordow.
The crater is roughly 18 feet/5.5 meters in diameter.
The greater Natanz complex is destroyed.
The latest hit, clearly targeted the underground infrastructure (and it's the only one that appears to have attempted to target it).
They attacked it becauseIsrael failed to penetrate it.

🇮🇷FYI: US only has 20 GBU-57 bombs (as of 2015).
They already used up 14 (70% of their stockpile) and only damaged #Fordow to an extent. The main sensitive facilities are likely not even damaged, buried deep down the mountain.
