Newly released satellite images showcase the aftermath of the 30,000 pound “bunker-buster” bombs the United States dropped on Iranian nuclear facilities.
The U.S. operation, known as “Midnight Hammer” occurred on Saturday night, utilizing over 125 aircraft including seven 8-2 stealth bombers, multiple fighter jets, dozens of air refueling tankers, as well as a guided missile submarine and multiple reconnaissance aircraft, according to Joint Chiefs Chairman Air Force Gen. Dan Caine in a Sunday briefing.
The attack struck three Iranian nuclear facilities including Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
Before and after images reveal the entire topography of the mountain protecting Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment site changed following the detonation of 14 separate 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs, which is the first operational usage of this weapon, according to Caine.
“Final battle damage will take some time, but initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction,” Caine stated.
Entire sections of the once-brown mountain are seen covered in light grey ash with visible holes seen penetrating the mountainside.

8-2?
Spill Czech gone crazy or a typist who knows nothing about aircraft naming?
re: “Newly released satellite imagery”
Closer up, the big ‘divots’ - they look like golf course sand traps.
BTW, Trump builds golf courses, and these may be some of the largest sand traps ever created ...
Just imagine some young skull full of mush, living in a remote area. The first time they set eyes on a photo or video of the B-2.
They will tell their friends that Batman attacked.
8-2?
OAN misprint, 8-2 is B-2.
Now sentence makes sense:
The U.S. operation, known as “Midnight Hammer” occurred on Saturday night, utilizing over 125 aircraft including seven B-2 stealth bombers, multiple fighter jets, dozens of air refueling tankers, as well as a guided missile submarine and multiple reconnaissance aircraft, ....
Those photos are totally useless, since there is no common reference point to align the before-after images. No scale provide either.
agree.
I want to see the photos of “Natanz” where the centrifuges are located and are buried deeper in the mountain than the Fordow facility.
Israeli bombing 6 days ago cut power to the facility and likely damaged/destroyed the 15K centrifuges located there (power loss causes improper shut down of centrifuges spinning at 175,000 RPM):

“the materials had already been taken out”

Regardless of having a common reference point, I think they're useless because they can't show damage hundreds of feet below the surface, which is where the nuclear related work was performed.
That’s correct. Will take a while to know whether this worked. Also will we ever know for sure, if we can’t get independent sources to say?
“footage showing Iran pulling out the nuclear materials from Fordow two days ago”
https://trt.global/world/article/39eb19713bb9
So what?
Trump has told Iran many times they are permitted to have nuclear materials, operate nuclear power plants, etc - just that they can’t process to weapons grade materials.
And it can’t show underground
We shouldn’t jump to assume 100% destruction but really, citing the Turkish islamist media over, say, our 24/7 satellite imagery?
Ill go with TBD for now.
That doesn’t look like it’s “gone.” Gonna need more proof. Not at least rendering the mountain unusable is worse that not attacking at all.
How does anyone know where the actual bunker is? You start the hole and turn right and now it’s under a mountain. Or are they just closing the door. And then they move all of the ingredients somewhere else. Need to kill the mullahs and let the iranians pick some new people. Even that scene rarely works out.
Which sucks because this was a one time only opportunity.
You give the guys that work there Apple watches programed to remind them to pray 5 times a day, then pay Apple for the Premium Service that records all GPS locations.
I can’t imagine this was built will a straight shaft from the surface to the installation.
