In a statement reviewing the results of the war, the Israeli military indicated that "significant damage was inflicted on Iran's three main nuclear facilities," noting that its military operations targeted four key targets.
He explained that these targets included sites associated with the nuclear program, missile production capacity, missile platforms, and surface-to-air missiles. He emphasized that the operations also resulted in the assassination of senior security and military leaders and the establishment of air superiority in Iran.
He stated that "thousands of centrifuges, research and development centers linked to the nuclear program, and unique infrastructure for the nuclear program were destroyed." Tel Aviv did not name the central nuclear facilities that sustained significant damage as a result of the military operations against Iran.
Iran confirmed that the Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow facilities sustained varying degrees of damage as a result of the US strikes that struck them at dawn on June 22.
However, the Iranian news agency noted that Tehran had already removed "materials" from the three nuclear sites bombed by the United States.
On June 13, Israel, with US support, launched a 12-day attack on Iran, targeting military and nuclear sites, civilian facilities, and the assassination of military leaders and nuclear scientists. Iran responded by targeting Israeli military and intelligence headquarters with ballistic missiles and drones.
Following Iran's missile response to Israel, which inflicted heavy losses, the United States attacked nuclear facilities in Iran on June 22nd. Tehran responded by bombing the U.S. military base at Al Udeid in Qatar. Washington then declared a ceasefire between Tel Aviv and Tehran on June 24th.
There is ambiguity and inconsistency regarding the extent and consequences of the damage to Iran's nuclear facilities. Tehran has merely stated that they were "severely damaged," claiming that the Israeli-American aggression did not achieve its objectives, without providing further explanation. Meanwhile, Tel Aviv and Washington claim to have destroyed Iran's nuclear program and set it back for years.
