The results of the damage done to Iran’s uranium enrichment facility in Fordo, while still being assessed, are not satisfactory, Israeli sources tell ABC News.
The achievements of Israeli and US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are still being evaluated, and it’s too early to determine operational success, two Israeli sources tell the network, with one source downplaying the damage at Fordo and calling the outcome there “really not good.”
Both sources said they are unaware of how much enriched uranium Iran may have relocated ahead of the strikes, or how many centrifuges remain and are usable to enrich uranium in the future.
Conclusive findings may take months, if they are obtained at all, a source tells the US network.
The report comes as US President Donald Trump said that Israel sent agents into Fordo after the US strikes who said that the key nuclear site had been “obliterated.” Israeli officials told the Kan public broadcaster that they were unaware of an Israeli operation at the site.
