On 22 June at 10:22 UTC, Maxar released 0.5-meter imagery showing three circular Fordow blast scars about 25 meters across at the portal area. Planet Labs’ SkySat captured higher-cadence shots showing eastward dust clouds and bulldozers arriving by noon local time. Five classic penetrator indicators are visible in Fordow imagery: entry craters, radial debris ejection, thermal scarring, rock-face fracturing, and surface subsidence, including uphill fissures and an 8-meter cavity collapse. The Fordow centrifuge galleries are estimated at 80–100 meters deep, leaving uncertainty about complete destruction. Fordow produced 166 kilograms of 60 percent enriched uranium-235 in the last quarter, nearly enough

Fordow lies beneath roughly 90 metres of limestone outside Qom and houses Iran’s most advanced uranium-enrichment cascades, with enrichment reaching 60% by June 2025 per the IAEA. Fordow was exposed by Western intelligence in 2009, had activity frozen under the JCPOA from 2013 to 2015, and restarted enrichment from 2019 to 2024, reaching 60% in 2025. Commercial satellites from Planet Labs, Maxar, and Airbus imaged Fordow almost hourly in mid‑June 2025. On 19 June 2025, new ventilation stacks appeared on roof section C of Fordow, signaling possible underground welding work. On 20 June 2025, a convoy of five flat‑beds and

Maxar imagery taken 24 hours after Israel’s first wave shows two main halls at Natanz collapsed and scorch marks across adjoining centrifuge assembly buildings, while Isfahan reveals precision craters on the centrifuge‑production workshop. Photos published of the Arak/Khondab heavy‑water reactor show shrapnel holes in the under‑construction dome and distillation towers toppled at the neighbouring heavy‑water plant, with the IAEA saying the reactor was unfueled and thus no radiological consequences are expected.
