Pictures show damage to Iran’s nuclear sites but experts say it will take more time to assess the success of the operation
Satellite pictures taken after the US military attempted to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities show significant damage to Tehran’s nuclear sites - but not necessarily to the extent claimed by Donald Trump.
The images indicated damage on the ground - including new craters, holes on mountain ridges and collapsed tunnels - but did not provide definitive proof the heavily fortified underground facilities were breached.
The US president had boasted that the nuclear facilities were “completely and totally obliterated” in the attack. “The biggest damage took place far below ground level,” he claimed. “Bullseye!!!”
And now everyone knows how deep they have to bury their facilities so US bombs can’t get them. The cycle continues.
Actually it’s more like, “now we can justify spending more US tax dollars building even larger bombs that will penetrate deeper into underground bases.”
All of them need an entrance
It’s pretty easy to clear out a collapsed tunnel compared to completely rebuilding an underground facility full of high tech equipment.
