Overview

  • Maxar satellite photos reveal excavators and bulldozers filling bomb craters and carving new access roads at the northern ridge of the Fordow complex.
  • Imagery indicates that Iran may have sealed key tunnel entrances with earth before the US bunker-buster strikes to shield sensitive assets.
  • The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that Fordow’s centrifuges are currently “no longer operational,” though inspectors have yet to verify on-site conditions.
  • US officials confirm precision munitions hit intended targets but say the full extent of the setback to Iran’s nuclear program remains under assessment.
  • A ceasefire has held since June 23, yet Iran’s rapid repair efforts raise questions about how quickly it could resume enrichment activities.
