Additional satellite images show damage on the mountainside at Iran’s underground Fordo nuclear site after US airstrikes targeted the facility.
The images by Maxar show at least six holes on the mountain, where the massive 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs, dropped from B-2 stealth bombers, impacted.
The “bunker buster” bomb is believed to be able to penetrate about 200 feet (61 meters) below the surface before exploding.
Iran has yet to offer a damage assessment of the site.
