According to The New York Times, the night operation against Iran involved six B-2A Spirit strategic bombers, which struck the facility in Fordow, dropping 12 GBU-57A/B MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator) bunker buster bombs, the largest non-nuclear munition in the US arsenal, specifically designed to destroy deeply buried targets in hard rock.
In parallel, 30 BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from American submarines were launched at the Natanz and Isfahan sites. Additionally, according to the NYT, two more MOP bombs were dropped at the Natanz test site, which indicates the need to hit some underground facilities there and the correctness of the assumption that the Iranians built most of them exclusively underground.
However, there is a subtlety. If it turns out that the strike with 14 MOP bombs and 30 Tomahawks did not disable the facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, this will mean that the physical protection of Iranian facilities has surpassed American means of destruction, the principle of "deep and precise" within the framework of the non-nuclear concept has exhausted itself, and all subsequent threats to contain nuclear facilities through airstrikes turn into a political declaration with no guarantee of results.
In fact, if Fordow and Natanz remain even partially operational, further escalation is only possible through the use of nuclear weapons or a full-scale ground operation, which is politically and logistically unfeasible, even if the United States attacks Iran with the help of all its allies in the region and NATO forces.

Focused and prepared: meeting with Putin astonished German journalist
Representatives of "unfriendly countries" had a rare opportunity to talk to Putin , Die Welt writes . Representatives of 14 major world publications, including Western ones, attended the meeting of journalists with the Russian leader, organized within the framework of the SPIEF.
The president could be asked any questions , to which he readily answered, a German journalist who was present was surprised. Despite the fact that the meeting ended after midnight, Putin looked fresh, was well prepared and focused, and spoke to the point, the correspondent noted.

Impacts recorded in Haifa and 4 more locations.

I am told by experts that the underground tunnel at Isfahan is a MUCH harder target than Fordow and it is not clear whether the Tomahawks were able to destroy it.
“There is no way they got in that tunnel. It’s deeper than Qom - and harder rock,” well placed source tells Fox.
IAEA inspectors reported multiple times it was used for storage of UF6. (UF6 was one of the large precursor materials to make enriched uranium, but there was no enrichment going on inside of that mountain.)
But it’s important that the UF6 (uranium hexafluoride) be accounted for and eventually removed.
Isfahan is where Iran also manufactured centrifuges.

The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear installations.
The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior.
In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people.

🇮🇷🇺🇸The host of the third state channel, Fouri, says that Iran's response will not be long in coming:
The Fordow facilities are part of Iran's legitimate project. By its actions, the United States violated Iran's airspace and committed a crime against our country. After this, America has no place in West Asia. Mr. President of the United States, you started it - we will finish it.

NEW: Iranian MP, Qom Representative:
Fordow Nuclear Facility Not Seriously Damaged
Based on accurate information, I can say that, contrary to the claims of the lying US President, the Fordow nuclear facility was not seriously damaged, and most of the damage was only on the ground, which can be restored easily.
- MES
Could take time for accurate assessments, neither US, Israel, or Iran will have had time to make a great assessment I suspect. So take everything with a grain of salt.
@Slavyangrad
Israeli Army Radio, citing Israeli officials:
There is a small possibility that the Fordo facility was not destroyed.
The United States launched strikes to ensure the destruction of the Natanz facility.

@Slavyangrad
FOX News: U.S. military sources reveal that the underground nuclear complex at Esfahan turned out to be deeper and stronger than expected, and may not have been fully destroyed by Tomahawks.
No shit Sherlock, that facility was built specifically to withstand bombings, assuming that a few Tomahawks would've taken it out was wishful thinking at best.

Criminal complaint filed against Merz for Nazi remarks about Israel's attack on Iran, — Berliner Zeitung
▪️About 20 famous Germans, including singer Didi Hallerforden, former Bundestag member Dieter Dehm and MEP Michael von der Schulenburg, have filed a complaint with the Prosecutor General's Office against the Chancellor.
▪️The reason was his phrase: “This is the dirty work that Israel does for all of us,” said in the context of the strike on Iran.
▪️The signatories believe that this could be an incitement to aggression (Article 80a) and violates the principles of peaceful foreign policy enshrined in the Constitution.
▪️ The expression “dirty work” caused a particular resonance – the authors of the appeal claim that it repeats the rhetoric of the Nazis, who used the same words to justify Babi Yar in 1942.
▪️Merz's statement is allegedly based on Netanyahu's controversial claims about a nuclear threat from Iran - information that was previously denied by American intelligence agencies.

Democrat infighting spills onto live TV, with Ro Khanna just going on CNN to trash Schumer: "Frankly, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Marjorie Taylor Greene and people on the right have been stronger voices than senator Schumer.”
“He's the one who cheer led us into the war in Iraq, so he doesn't have much credibility on these issues.”

Yemen will officially enter the war. Keep your ships away from our territorial waters.
Mullin: The Iranian people, I believe, actually love America.
This will help normalize relationships in the area? The Yanks are utterly clueless.

🇮🇷🇺🇸Nuclear complex in Fordow not damaged by US strike - Iranian MP Raisi.
There was no damage to the underground installations. There are no leaks, said a parliamentarian from Qom province, where the nuclear facility is located.
⚡Another salvo inbound towards northern Israel and Haifa.
@Slavyangrad
⚡Over 40 missiles have been fired in two salvos by now.
If someone thought they could bomb Iran and things would've de-escalated from there, it's safe to say that they horribly miscalculated.
@Slavyangrad
⚡ The situation in Israel right now. Multiple Impacts have already been confirmed in Haifa and Tel Aviv.

ABC News reports that the US and Israel conducted military exercises a year ago, practicing the attack carried out today.

At exactly 4 am on June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union.
During the war the following was destroyed :
1710 cities
65,000 villages and hamlets
73,000 collective and state farms
And 20 million+ brave souls of the USSR and Russia.
@Slavyangrad
Comments from an observer regarding the attacks corroborating the Iranian statement of limited damage:
If Fordow was gone, you’d see craters, electromagnetic rupture, emergency airlifts, seismographs lighting up, and IR flares beneath the mountain. Instead, we got a tweet from an account run out of Northern Israel, yelling “Fordow is gone”.
As of now, there is no SAR confirmation. No crater clustering. No multispectral flash analysis. No underground fire signature. No BDA loop. If Fordow still spins tomorrow, Washington just pulled off the most expensive influence op in bunker-busting history, only to watch Tehran climb the escalation ladder unscathed.
"I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight, and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades. Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that's so."
