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.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Okay so somebody trashed your multi-billion dollar site just shut the doors and walk away don’t bother to try and salvage it or anything that would be stupid.
All that undestroyed expensive equipment like computers wheelbarrows etc that’s all dead to you now
“Officials have stated that there has been no nuclear fallout or contamination as a result of the strikes.”
One would think that there is a full-court press to find out if there were radiation leaks. When the open those ventilation shafts, there may be some. Maybe the 12th Imam will emerge?
Well, we had long-standing plans on how to blow it up, so they probably had some plans on how to rebuild it.
Does that mean it blowed up real good?
The fact is, the Iranians do not know the extent of the damage. The damage to the underground cavern is invisible.
The order was given....... dig it up and begin rebuilding ASAP
Never give an order you know can not be carried out
They are mining for the nuclear material. Russia or China will be happy to replace the equipment.
While what you posted is most probably true, the planners are all dead
Jut keep bombing it every week and use jet fighters to strafe the area in the day time when any work crews are there, until the regime signs an agreement that it has abandoned its nuclear ambitions. Bullets not boots on the ground.
Has IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi been inside the place?
Or is he guessing? A picture of the inside would be nice.
Well filling in the surface craters shouldn’t cause them to have too much of a glow but I doubt many will be volunteering to go down inside. LOL.
It took a second bomb to Nagasaki before Japan surrendered..:maybe another sweep of the area will be required?
Most likely, sadly.
Starship Troopers? Are enormous bugs going to come out of the holes?
Funny but we all know if there was material there and the weapons hit their storage area, the workers are going to need very special protection for their short working time. The material could be sprayed all over the area, machinery, walls, rubble. Best to just cover up the openings and post the warning signs.
I agree with you all the way. We need to pull off another attack over there ASAP. Get the cleanup crews afraid to go poking around and trying to rebuild the joint.
“Those vehicles appeared to be moving unidentified contents…”
Unidentified to reporters. We know perfectly well what’s being moved around this location.
I read somewhere that there is some radioactive contamination. Not sure which site though. I wonder how many workers have had a gun to their head to go Fordow, nuclear contaminated or not.
