Images from space appear to show limited damage at Fordo nuclear site
New satellite imagery released by US geospatial intelligence firm Planet Labs appears to show some damage outside the Fordo nuclear site.
Before and after pictures of the site appear to show the collapse of what may have been a retaining wall on the side of the mountain alongside a road ringing the edge of the secret nuclear site, which is buried deep under a mountain.

Iran had previously reported minor damage from Israeli strikes to the facility, which is thought to be largely beyond the reach of Israel’s munitions.
