The US targeted three Iran’s nuclear bases on Sunday morning. The B2 Bombers of the US Air Force bombed Iran’s three nuclear sites- Fordo, Natanj and Isfahan. While US President Donald Trump has termed these attacks as ‘completely successful’, Iran says that its atomic hideouts are completely safe and there is no danger of radiation leaks.
Trump surprised the whole world
It was being said that Trump would take two weeks to take a decision on Israeli military campaign against Iran. But on Sunday, the US surprised the whole world by attacking in Iran. However, it is being claimed by Iran that it had already vacated his nuclear sites. Now the question is, how much truth is there in these claims of Iran.
What showed in satellite photos?
Before the US aerial attacks, some high-resolution satellite photographs of the Fordo Fuel Enrichment Facility on June 19 and 20 saw unusual movement of trucks and vehicles. These pictures have been released by Maxar.

Many cargo trucks were seen standing near the tunnel
On June 19, 16 cargo trucks were seen parked on the route leading to the tunnel entrance of the underground military complex. In the next picture of June 20, it was seen that most of these trucks were taken on the road about one kilometer north-west. At the same time, more trucks and many bulldozers were seen standing near the entry point of the main campus. A truck was standing right next to the entry point of the tunnel.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry released a statement
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the US attacks. Iran says that the US attack on peaceful nuclear bases is a serious and unprecedented violation of Article 2, Para 4 of the United Nations Charter, which prohibit the use of force and respects the sovereignty and regional integrity of the member countries.
