Overview
- On June 23, the US used B-2 stealth bombers and massive ordnance penetrators, supported by submarine-launched Tomahawks, to strike Iran’s Natanz, Fordow and Esfahan nuclear sites.
- The IAEA reports it cannot fully assess damage at Fordow but confirms its centrifuges are no longer operational.
- US officials claim the strikes obliterated Iran’s nuclear capabilities; a preliminary DIA assessment suggests Tehran’s program was delayed by only months.
- Satellite imagery and expert analysis indicate Iran may have moved stocks of 60%-enriched uranium to undisclosed locations before the airstrikes.
- The White House plans to limit intelligence sharing with Congress following leaks of an initial damage assessment as President Trump and Iranian representatives prepare for next week’s nuclear talks.
