(Red State)—There has been much discussion and conflicting opinions on how much damage the U.S. “Operation Midnight Hammer” strikes did to Iran’s nuclear facilities, especially the underground site Fordow.
President Trump and his team claim that the 14 bunker-busting bombs destroyed the place and left it inoperable, while the mainstream media has been working aggressively to say the attacks only set Iran’s nuclear dreams back by a few months.
Now there is fresh evidence that the late-night B-2 stealth bomber-led strikes caused plenty of destruction, and the Iranians are already trying to clean it up:

The rest of the tweet from independent journalist Catherine Herridge in full:
“…new high-resolution satellite imagery today (June 29th) that reveals ongoing activity at and near the ventilation shafts and holes caused by last week’s airstrikes on the Fordow fuel enrichment complex in Iran.
On today’s imagery, an excavator and several personnel are positioned immediately next to the northern shaft on the ridge above the underground complex.
The crane appears to be operating at the entrance to the shaft/hole. Several additional vehicles are also seen below the ridge and are parked along the access path that was built to access the site.”
I think we should tell the Iranians to get their equipment out of there right now or else we’ll blow it up too, but hey, I’m not in charge.
