Iran's nuclear fortress is empty, US attack is useless

According to US satellite imagery, Iran was able to completely evacuate before the US launched airstrikes on nuclear facilities on the morning of June 22.

According to Israeli media, immediately after the US attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22, Iranian armed forces launched missiles, targeting targets in Israel. Some of the missiles flew to Israel, hitting targets in one of the country's cities. According to preliminary information, the port city of Haifa was attacked again.

Observing the streaks of light in the sky, some sources said that the Iranian military may have used hypersonic weapons in the attack. At the same time, there were reports that targets were hit in the Haifa port area.

For the Israeli military, Haifa is a strategic location, as it hosts an Israeli naval base with a flotilla of warships and the headquarters of Israel's submarine fleet. There is no word yet on whether Israel's main naval base has been attacked; rocket attacks on Israel are still ongoing.

Responding to questions from international reporters about the US joining Israel in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, Senior Advisor to the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mehdi Mohammadi said: Iran vowed to "destroy Israel" in response to US attacks on nuclear sites.

Iran has promised to respond to US attacks, but so far any retaliation has been limited to “strong statements” and missile strikes on Israel. Tehran is unlikely to attack US military bases, but will instead focus on Israel. Therefore, the adviser to the Iranian parliament speaker said that the first step in response would be to “destroy Israel.”

According to some Western experts, Iran simply did not respond to the US airstrikes, and Tehran took Trump’s threats “quite seriously.” Iran could use its proxy forces, but both Hezbollah and Hamas have recently lost their power and are unable to help in any way.

So far, only Yemen’s Houthis have spoken out in support of Tehran, announcing the start of military operations against US ships in the Red Sea. So everything will be limited to statements and accusations, which “doesn’t bother Trump” either.

But whether Iran will agree to negotiate to end the conflict remains unclear, as many Iranians are anti-American. Despite pressure from the US and Israel, the Iranian leadership’s stance has not changed, with “no sign of surrender,” as the US wants.

According to Iran's Mehr news agency, citing a senior Iranian source, the Iranians "cleared" highly enriched uranium from the Fordow complex (part of Iran's nuclear program), which was quickly moved to another location, two days before the US attack.

Iranian authorities said the number of workers at Fordow had been reduced to the minimum possible. The evacuation of personnel and materials was reportedly carried out in an “atmosphere of absolute secrecy” amid rumors of a possible US attack. At the same time, uranium was moved to another, more heavily guarded storage facility.

At the same time, a satellite from the US company Maxar Technologies recorded an increase in logistics activity at the Fordow facility and its vicinity on June 19, when truck traffic was unusually high. Public satellite images showed the concentration and movement of many trucks at the entrance to the facility.

According to Al Jazeera (Qatar), the GBU-57 MOP bombs were dropped from B-2 aircraft on the Fordow nuclear facility, but Iran turned the place into an "empty garden". This raises doubts about the statements from Washington about the complete destruction of the Fordow complex.

Ghoncheh Habibiazad, the BBC's Persian service correspondent, said the Iranians had completed the evacuation of all three nuclear facilities, which the US had attacked earlier. And the deputy political director of Iranian state TV, Hassan Abedini, speaking live on air, said all the facilities had been evacuated "some time ago".

This is the first official response from Tehran to the US attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities. Mr. Abedini clarified that Iran "has not suffered serious damage, as the nuclear materials have been removed."

In turn, US President Donald Trump announced that US B-2 stealth bombers had successfully attacked Iran's most important nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Moreover, a "full bomb load" was dropped on the most heavily guarded of them - Fordow.

All of this suggests that Washington may have warned Tehran in advance about the attack. This was done so that Iran’s response would not be too harsh, blaming President Trump for the attack, but not Washington. (photo source: Al Jazeera, IRNA, TASS).
