Key Facts

• The Fordo site in Iran is considered one of the most monitored places globally due to its nuclear facilities.
• The U.S. strikes aimed at Fordo did not destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities; they only delayed progress by a few months.
• The initial assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is labeled "low confidence" because detailed information is still being gathered.
• Multiple bombs were used, but it seems the underground facility was heavily protected, preventing full destruction of the core equipment.
• Iran's centrifuge machines, which are used to enrich uranium, might have been damaged by the attack.
• Intelligence agencies are using various methods, such as satellite images and seismic detectors, to assess the damage accurately.
• Before the attack, lorries were reportedly seen at Fordo, possibly moving enriched uranium and centrifuges to other locations.
• Even with recent setbacks, Iran's nuclear program could still continue if relocated or reconstituted elsewhere.
