Satellite images challenge Trump's claim that Iran's nuclear facilities have been destroyed.

Gate News bot reported that, according to Bloomberg, U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to order the U.S. military to strike three key nuclear facilities in Iran, which could undermine the known nuclear capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran. However, it also presents a significant new challenge in determining what nuclear capabilities Iran has left and where they are located.

Trump stated that the heavily guarded nuclear facility was "completely destroyed" on Saturday night, but independent analysis has yet to confirm this claim. According to three individuals familiar with Iran's nuclear program, the attack not only failed to achieve a swift victory but also made the task of tracking uranium and ensuring Iran does not develop nuclear weapons more complicated.

Observers from the International Atomic Energy Agency remain in Iran and inspected multiple sites the day before Israel began its bombing campaign on June 13. They are still trying to assess the extent of the damage, although military actions may destroy the facilities announced by Iran, this has also prompted Iran to move its nuclear program underground.

Trump dispatched B-2 stealth bombers loaded with massive bunker-buster bombs (GBU-57 bombs) in an attempt to destroy Iran's underground uranium enrichment facilities located in Natanz and Fordow.

The satellite images of Fort Dorr taken on Sunday, released by Maxar Technologies, show new craters, possible tunnel entrances that have collapsed, and holes at the top of the ridge.

Data also shows that a large auxiliary building at the Fordow nuclear power plant remains intact, and operators can use this building to control the ventilation of the underground enrichment workshop. The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that there has been no release of radioactive materials at the nuclear power plant.
