Satellite images show atomic installations were only grazed after four days of bombardment. Damage to Iran’s central enrichment facility in Natanz, located 300 kilometers (186 miles) south of Tehran, is primarily limited to electricity switch yards and transformers, based on pictures from June 17. While those installations are critical, experts say they can be repaired within months.
“They did damage but left a lot intact,” said Robert Kelley, a former inspector at the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, who previously ran one of the US-government’s premier satellite imagery labs.
The images provided by US-based Planet Labs PBC and analyzed by Kelley underscore the wide margin of error confronting US military planners who are deciding whether to enter the conflict. Donald Trump’s spokeswoman said the president will decide within two weeks whether to strike Iran, while Israel continued to hit more Iranian nuclear sites.
