President Donald Trump says that U.S. strikes “totally obliterated” three key nuclear sites in Iran, but independent analysis has yet to verify that claim.
Trump's decision to order U.S. forces to attack the installations may have sabotaged the Islamic Republic's known atomic capabilities, but it's also created a monumental new challenge to work out what's left and where.
Rather than yielding a quick win, the strikes have complicated the task of tracking uranium and ensuring Iran doesn't build a nuclear weapon.
Trump dispatched B-2 stealth jets laden with Massive Ordnance Penetrators, known as GBU-57 bombs, to attempt to destroy Iran's underground uranium enrichment sites in Natanz and Fordow.
The U.S. also attacked the Isfahan Nuclear Technology and Research Centre, located 450km south of Tehran, Bloomberg said.
