The US conducted a June 22nd strike on Iran's Fordo nuclear facility, employing six GBU-57 bombs per ventilation shaft. The deeply buried facility's exact structure and the surrounding ignimbrite rock's properties make assessing damage difficult. While the bombs likely didn't directly hit the centrifuge chamber, the goal was to inflict damage via shockwaves. Experts disagree on the extent of the damage, citing variables like bomb detonation location and the facility's construction, including potentially reinforced concrete. A full assessment requires more information and potentially classified data.
