Amid competing assessments of how badly the enrichment facility was damaged in U.S. strikes, Iran appears to be making its own inspection. Satellite images obtained by international monitoring groups have revealed ongoing activity at the Fordo nuclear site, raising questions about the potential extent of the damage and the country’s response to the strikes. The images have sparked debate over whether the U.S. attacks have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities or if the country is already moving to restore operations.
Analysts have noted that the Iranian government has not officially commented on the satellite findings, which suggests a cautious approach to the situation. However, the imagery indicates that Iran may be conducting its own assessments of the damage, possibly to determine the next steps for resuming or expanding its nuclear program. This development has further complicated international efforts to monitor and negotiate Iran’s nuclear activities, as the country continues to assert its right to develop its nuclear infrastructure.
