New Satellite Imagery Shows What Iran Is Now Doing at Fordow
Fresh activity was seen over the weekend at Iran’s Fordow nuclear plant, which was damaged by US bunker buster bombs on June 21, indicating that the rogue regime was up to something.
Maxar Technologies took high-resolution satellite photographs on Sunday depicting a newly built access road near the site, as well as a bevy of equipment such as cranes, an excavator, and multiple automobiles.
The BBC reported that the images seemed to “show signs of some work underway at the Fordow facility where the Iranian government has been enriching uranium.”

“According to nuclear weapons expert David Albright … the construction work may include backfilling the craters, carrying out engineering damage assessments and radiological sampling,” the British outlet further noted.
These fresh photographs have rekindled worries that the US bunker buster bombs were not as effective as President Donald Trump had previously claimed.
Concerns arose after a preliminary intelligence analysis released to the public cautioned that the damage caused by the bombs would only stall Iran’s nuclear development for a few months.

President Donald Trump claimed last week that Israeli agents inspected Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility following recent U.S. airstrikes and reported the site was “totally obliterated.”
FirstPost reported that he also threatened to take further action if Iran resumed uranium enrichment.
“They have guys who go in after the strike, and they said it was total obliteration,” Trump told attendees and reporters at a NATO meeting in The Hague this week.

Trump added that Israel is currently preparing a full damage assessment and suggested that Iran had no time to relocate any materials from the site before the strike.
He compared the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow and Natanz nuclear facilities to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, claiming both had a similarly decisive effect in bringing conflict to a halt.
Trump’s rhetoric grew increasingly dramatic over the course of the day, as he dismissed reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that Iran’s 400kg stockpile of 60 percent enriched uranium had gone missing, Forbes noted further.
Earlier this week, U.S. Vice President JD Vance acknowledged that the U.S. was uncertain about the whereabouts of the uranium and said the issue would be addressed in upcoming discussions with Iranian officials.

On Wednesday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed that Iran’s nuclear program had sustained significant damage and would require years to rebuild. “Several key nuclear facilities were destroyed,” he said, citing reliable intelligence sources.
Trump also announced a US-Iran meeting is likely to happen next week to discuss Tehran’s nuke program. “We may sign an agreement, or we may not,” he said. “I don’t care if I have an agreement or not.”
Also, the president appeared less certain about a lasting cease-fire and peace between Israel and Iran after announcing earlier in the week that it would last “forever.”
“They’re both tired… but could it start again? Maybe. Maybe soon,” he said, per FirstPost.
Meanwhile, a leaked Defense Intelligence Agency report shortly after the strikes claimed that the Iranian programs had only been set back “by months,” but that assessment — which news outlets like CNN and the New York Times failed to mention — said the intel was of “low confidence.”
