Post-Attack Assessment of First 12 Days of Israeli Strikes on Iran Nuclear
he First 12 Days of Israeli Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Facilities Israel’s historic Operation Rising Lion has targeted many Iranian nuclear sites, causing massive damage to its nuclear program and setting it back significantly. After 12 days of military operations, a survey of the resulting damage is appropriate.
A subsequent review of satellite imagery from June 14, 2025, showed two or three small explosive impact craters on the surface over the FEP halls (see Figure 1), leading to a reassessment that substantially more damage likely occurred in the initial attack to the underground enrichment plant. The first point target is what can generally be termed as a ventilation "shaft" but is likely a more elaborate structure, which connects subsurface with a central hallway leading to the two main underground halls shown in the plot plan housing both equipment and centrifuges. We are also aware that on other satellite imagery obtained the day after the attack, several trucks were present in the parking area near the entrance to the headquarters, suggesting that materials such as documentation and related equipment were in the process of being removed from the still standing building.
