Following the impressive precision blows that the US managed last Sunday (22.06.2025) in its nuclear facilities Iranat the center of attention are stocks enriched uraniumespecially in Fordo’s underground infrastructure.
Although the Trump government is passionately supporting the ‘Most successful’ business ‘Midnight Hammer’in which Stealth B-2 bombers hit the Iranian nuclear facilities with the devastating MOP bombs, there are still doubts about their outcome.
In this context, today’s (26.06.2025) report by the Financial Times (FT) states that several European countries believe that the stock of Iran’s highly enriched uranium remains largely intact after US blows.

At the same time, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi said that Centrals to Fordo’s nuclear facilities “no longer work” after the US raids on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
«Given the power of these bombs and technical characteristics of centrifugeswe know that they are no longer functional because of the vibrations [εννοεί τα ωστικά κύματα από τις εκρήξεις των βομβών MOP]who cause very significant damage“Grossi told the French radio station Radio France Internationale.
“I know the factory very well, it is an underground tunnel network, where various activities take place. What we have seen in the photos corresponds more or less in the hall where uranium enrichment is being carried out, this has been hit, ”he said.
Iran “freezes” cooperation with IAEA
Earlier today, Iran approved a bill to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Organization, following Grossi’s statements that the return of inspectors to Iran’s nuclear facilities to evaluate the impact of US and Israeli military attacks. ‘Top priority’.
