US strike damage to Iran’s Natanz, Isfahan nuclear facilities captured in satellite images

Fresh satellite images have captured the damage caused by American B-2 stealth bombers in airstrikes targeting Iran’s Isfahan and Natanz nuclear facilities. 

Photos taken by Planet Labs PBC show that multiple buildings were hit at both sites as a result of Operation Midnight Hammer. 

“At the Isfahan nuclear site … buildings were hit, with the U.S. confirming their use of cruise missiles,” International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi said Monday. “Affected buildings include some related to the uranium conversion process. Also at this site, entrances to tunnels used for the storage of enriched material appear to have been hit. 

“At the Natanz enrichment site, the Fuel Enrichment Plant was hit, with the U.S. confirming that it used ground-penetrating munitions,” he added.

He added that the full extent of the battle damage to the facilities would take time to assess.

Fordow is built into the side of a mountain near the city of Qom, about 60 miles southwest of Tehran, while Natanz and Isfahan are above ground.
