Newly released satellite images have confirmed significant damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities in Natanz and Isfahan, shedding light on the aftermath of recent airstrikes.

According to the Institute for Space and International Security, imagery from Maxar reveals destruction at the pilot fuel enrichment plant in Natanz, along with damage to a nearby electrical substation. The assessment aligns with earlier radar analyses that first indicated structural harm.

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), informed the UN Security Council on Friday that “the above-ground part of the pilot fuel enrichment plant, where Iran was producing uranium enriched up to 60% U-235, has been destroyed.” Uranium-235 at this level of enrichment can be used in both nuclear power generation and, potentially, weapons development.

Footage captured in the immediate aftermath of the strike shows multiple plumes of smoke rising from the Natanz facility.

Meanwhile, the IAEA also reported that four critical buildings were hit in Isfahan, including the uranium conversion facility and the fuel plate fabrication plant. Satellite imagery confirms clear signs of destruction at these locations, with visible damage to at least two structures and scorch marks near the outer edge of the site.

Despite the scale of the strikes, the IAEA stated that it has detected “no increase in off-site radiation” at either of the affected sites.
