Iranian leaders are scrambling to assess the damage to Fordow, one of three sites hit with U.S. “bunker buster” bombs in the early hours of Sunday morning, and which was once again struck on Monday by the Israelis. The facility is also the most fortified, buried under 80 meters of concrete and a mountainside.
The new wave of airstrikes comes after President Donald Trump declared that the first round of bombing had “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s ability to resume its enrichment of uranium beyond civilian levels, a key step that international observers say was putting the country on the path toward developing an atomic weapon.
