Iran’s military has not acknowledged damage at either Khojir or Parchin from Israel’s attack early on Saturday, although it has said the assault killed four Iranian soldiers working in the country’s air-defence systems.
Rafael Grossi, the UN’s nuclear chief, confirmed on social media: “Iran’s nuclear facilities have not been impacted.”
Behnam Ben Taleblu, an Iran expert and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defence of Democracies, said the satellite imagery was crucial to understanding the true scale of damage from the strikes.
“It shows you that just because they didn’t destroy all of the regime’s military capabilities, doesn’t mean the strike was ineffective,” he said.
He added: “The strike makes the regime more vulnerable over time, and shows the Israelis can have greater depth in the future.”
