The Bombs Ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump Failed to Hit the Target, as Iran Shares Proof.

(Around the World)

The news as it trends. 

On June 22, the U.S. launched airstrikes on Iran’s top nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

The strikes involved bunker-buster bombs and cruise missiles.

But now, Iran is releasing images and videos online showing the facilities still standing.

This has raised serious doubts about the effectiveness of the attack.

At Fordow, located deep in the Iranian mountains near Qom, 30,000-pound bombs were reportedly dropped on underground enrichment tunnels.

However, according to multiple reports and satellite images, Iran had already filled the entrance tunnels with earth to shield the facility in advance.

Post-strike imagery shows no visible damage or alteration. The site remains fully intact.

At Natanz, the U.S. targeted underground centrifuge halls.

While some surface structures appear to have been hit, experts believe Iran had removed or protected critical equipment beforehand.

The site’s mountainous terrain and possible hidden infrastructure may have played a role.

At Isfahan, uranium conversion buildings on the surface sustained some visible damage.

But again, Iran reportedly relocated key materials in time before the bombs dropped.

In all three cases, analysts agree that Iran’s foresight blunted the strikes’ impact. Fordow, in particular, remains untouched.

Critics are calling this a strategic and symbolic failure for Washington, especially as the Trump administration continues to tout the operation as a successful one, claiming all three sites were seriously damaged.

Experts note: “the earth” in the context of this report refers to literal soil packed into entrances to absorb shock and block access.

Combined with Fordow’s underground design, this tactic likely neutralized the attack.

Conclusion: Despite bold claims, it is increasingly clear that Iran’s nuclear infrastructure—especially at Fordow—survived intact.

As also noted by Iranian analyst Mahdi Mohammadi on X, translated from Arabic:

 “From Iran’s perspective, nothing particularly surprising has happened. For several nights, Iran has been anticipating an attack on Fordow. The site has long been evacuated and has not sustained irreparable damage in the attack.  Two things are certain: first, knowledge cannot be bombed, and second, the gambler will lose this time.”
