Updated Battle Damage Assessment 🧵(1/3)
Satellite imagery confirmed that Israeli airstrikes on Natanz destroyed the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant (PFEP) and damaged electrical substations and support buildings critical to power supply across the facility.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told BBC that there is a “great probability” that approximately 14,000 operational centrifuges located at one of the underground halls have been “severely damaged if not destroyed altogether” due to the “sudden loss of external power.”
Grossi stated that there has been “very little or no damage” at Fordow. The Fordow site is especially hardened against strikes, as much of the facility extends deep underground.
CTP-ISW has refined our previous June 14 assessment that Israel likely struck a building in the northeastern corner of Natanz. Higher-resolution imagery published by @Maxar on June 15 shows no damage in that area of the facility (see below).
