Episode notes
Conflicting Damage Reports at Fordow
- Conflicting reports on the damage at Fordow reflect the uncertainty and low confidence in intelligence assessments.
- Damage was likely extensive but exact rollback is unclear, showing skepticism about official claims is warranted.
Fordow Access and Vulnerabilities
- The Fordow facility's tunnel entrances are blocked, limiting access even for Iranians.
- Despite deep underground location, strikes exploited ventilation vulnerabilities causing substantial destruction.
Massive Centrifuge Destruction Estimate
- Bombing likely destroyed roughly 20,000 centrifuges across Natanz and Fordow, crippling Iran's enrichment capacity.
- Natanz, being shallower, was more vulnerable and faced heavy damage including lost electrical supply.
