Satellite images show the damage at Iran’s deeply buried Fordow nuclear site after massive US strikes
dnyuz ^ | June 22, 2025

Posted on 06/22/2025 6:45:58 AM PDT by BenLurkin

In the images, which were captured on Sunday by the US commercial satellite imaging company Maxar Technologies and obtained by Business Insider, several large holes or craters can be seen on a ridge over the underground complex at Fordow, south of Tehran.

The images show what looks like a layer of dust or debris caused by the US airstrikes over the area, and several tunnel entrances that lead to the underground facility appear to be blocked with dirt.

I haven’t the faintest idea what to look at in that picture. Dirt before. Blue dirt after. Can someone post with rings around the relevant areas and explain it?

Iran and the Dims will be loud to say that Trump didn’t completely destroy Fordow. The Dims will orgasm if just one spec of uranium is left.

That looks to me like 24 hours of work with a few bulldozers to clear it out. Those mountains are 4,000 m tall. The week he says that particular bomb only penetrates a fraction of that.

A bunch of bulldozers could be labeled rescue missions for the technicians inside. I just don’t see any sign that the entire mountain was taken down.

IF there was ever a perfect military operation, this would have to be it.

no leaks.
Goals achieved.
and NO casualties. not civilian nor military (according to Iranian guard)

perfect.

Congratulations to the Trump administration and Hegseth DoD.

so far, Iran has got off lucky. we’ll see if they want to f*ck around to find out.

Putin should give Trump a backchannel congratulations for a flawless victory... while signaling they won’t do anything. same with china.

On one hand very relieved the there has been no reported radiation leak and enviormental contamination which the world would have blamed the US. However the lack of radiation leak makes one wonder if those uranium processing centrifuges and uranium in various stages of process were really destroyed. Won’t know the degree of effectiveness until boots on the ground examine the sites.

Motion detector mines. Slow down the reconstruction.

One thing I notice is that if you search for the tunnel entrances, and there are a number of them, they all seem to be collapsed in the “after” image, even though it doesn’t appear that any of them were hit directly. My speculation is that this may be a sign that the interior is also mostly or entirely collapsed, which forced dirt and debris down the tunnels to the entrances.

Just a guess, but it seems clear that the entrances are all collapsed and/or filled up with debris.

I put them into a graphics program and toggled back and forth. It’s those 3 little holes below center.

Deep thanks. Lonely to be the only one. You’re a comfort.

Every last person who worked on the Iranian nuclear program is a legitimate target down to the gate guards and cafeteria workers. We, or the Israelis, should have targeted them, and they may still be in the Israelis sights.

The labs are not 12,000 feet under the surface. They were about 300 feet.

The shock waves from the blasts, focused downward, would break a lot of things at 300 feet.

They are not getting down there with bulldozers and shovels. At least not any time soon.

Keep looking. Those aren’t the only ones visible.

I’m sure glad that the “judiciary’s” freakshow clown judges didn’t try to “temporarily pause” the B-2 raids “for now”. I guess the next big thing we can look for is the RAT slobs with their football shaped heads leaving Capistol Hill and going to Iran on the taxpayer’s dime to drink margaritas and having conjugal visits with the ayatollahs. Timmy Kaine will be the first one that will try to get a conjugal visit with Khomeini.
