According to the analysis of the Institute for Space and International Security (ISIS), there is no damage to the pilot plant for fuel enrichment and electric substation.
On Friday, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) told the UN Security Council that “the above-range part of the fuel enrichment plant, in which Iran produced Urano enriched up to 60% U-235, destroyed”. Uran-235 is also crucial for nuclear power plants and for the production of nuclear weapons.
Justin Bronk from the Royal Institute for Defense Studies (RUSS) said for BBC Verify that, although it is not possible to say, the explosion sample “corresponds to the use of piercing bombs – probably GBU-31 (V) 3 or even more specialized GBU-28” index.hr.
Those bombs, known as “Bunker Busters,”, was used earlier for attacks on the underground goals in Gaza and Lebanon.
However, Grossi emphasized that “there is no indication of a physical attack on the underground hall with a centrifuge cascades, which contains part of the pilot plant and the main fuel enrichment plant”.
Yesterday, IAE confirmed that four “critical buildings” in the Isfahan damaged, including uranium conversion plants and plant for making fuel boards.
BBC VERIFY analysis based on the latest images from Maxara shows visible damage to the minimum two buildings in Izfahan, as well as traces of combustion along the edge of the complex.
IAEA has confirmed that “no increase in radiation levels are noted outside the locations” in Natanz and Isfahan.
Maxar also provided shots for more two key Iranian nuclear facilities – reactors on heavy water in Arako and Fordow enrichment plants – where no damage is visible.
Iranian media reported that Fordow was a target, but Idf denied it later.
Maxar also published recordings that show significant damage to one building Ghadir Iran Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) near Tehran, as well as significant damage to the IRGC Radar plant in Piranshar, in the Western Azerbaijan Province.
