Iranian construction crews are busy at work on the surface of the uranium enrichment facility in Fordow five days after the US nailed the underground fortress with 30,000 pound bunker buster bombs, new satellite images showed.
Crews operated excavators, bulldozers, and other construction vehicles near the craters and punctures in the ground above the nuclear facility caused by the GBU-57 bunker buster bombs dropped by American B-2s last weekend, according to images captured by Maxar Technologies on Friday.
Other images showed apparent construction crews building access roads to the facility and rebuilding the damaged dirt road that led to the bunker laboratory that was targeted by the US as part of Israel’s conflict with the Islamic Republic.
Satellite images from before the attack showed similar construction activity on the surface of Fordow in the 24-hour period prior to the bunker-busters piercing the desert surface.
Those vehicles appeared to be moving unidentified contents out of the facility to a location roughly half-a-mile away.
Officials have stated that there has been no nuclear fallout or contamination as a result of the strikes.
Fordow’s centrifuges are currently ‘no longer operational’ according to the UN’s nuclear watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency.
“It has suffered enormous damage,” IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told Radio France Internationale on Thursday.
“There is very, very, very considerable damage,” Grossi said.
The extent of the destruction — and the amount of time the Iranian regime’s program has been set back — have yet to be officially determined.

I expect that the craters are also full of rubble, so they will slowly empty into the chambers below, but it is all fairly easy to remove.
Centrifuges will be replaced with upgraded ones. The big question is how much of the partially enriched uranium can be recovered and enriched to a higher degree? And, how do we stop this?
