Iran - June 23, 2025 Local Iranian media report that Israeli warplanes have struck the Fordow nuclear facility, marking a renewed escalation in attacks on strategic Iranian infrastructure. The Fordow site, deeply buried in the mountains near Qom, has long been a focal point of international concern over Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The same site was previously targeted by the U.S., according to earlier reports. Iranian outlets shared unverified videos showing possible damage in nearby areas but stopped short of confirming a direct hit on the facility itself. Iran’s nuclear agency had earlier claimed that uranium enrichment materials were removed from the site, and that no serious damage had been sustained in past strikes.
