Comments from an observer regarding the attacks corroborating the Iranian statement of limited damage:
If Fordow was gone, you’d see craters, electromagnetic rupture, emergency airlifts, seismographs lighting up, and IR flares beneath the mountain. Instead, we got a tweet from an account run out of Northern Israel, yelling “Fordow is gone”.
As of now, there is no SAR confirmation. No crater clustering. No multispectral flash analysis. No underground fire signature. No BDA loop. If Fordow still spins tomorrow, Washington just pulled off the most expensive influence op in bunker-busting history, only to watch Tehran climb the escalation ladder unscathed.
Not only the attack may have failed, but they just escalated with no strategic success.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Iranian Atomic Energy Agency full statement:
'Following the brutal attacks by the Zionist enemy over the past few days, the country’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were attacked this morning by the enemies of Islamic Iran in a brutal act that contravenes international law, especially the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
This action, which violates international law, unfortunately took place amid the indifference and even complicity of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The American enemy claimed responsibility via cyberspace for the attack on the aforementioned sites, which are under the continuous supervision of the IAEA, based on the Safeguards Agreement and the NPT.
The international community is expected to condemn the law-of-the-jungle chaos and support Iran in achieving its legitimate rights.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran assures the great Iranian nation that despite the evil plots of its enemies, with the efforts of thousands of its revolutionary and enthusiastic scientists and experts, it will not allow the development of this national industry, which is the fruit of the blood of the nuclear martyrs, to be halted.
This organization has put on its agenda the necessary measures, including legal action, to defend the rights of the noble Iranian people.’
