US President Donald Trump’s claim of destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities might not be factual, as satellite images reportedly suggest otherwiseAccording to the reported images, several cargo vehicles at the entrance of the tunnel, the site of key Iranian nuclear facilities inside a mountain, were seen two days before the US strikesThis came just days after a US intelligence report concluded that the American strikes had not destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities but had merely set the country back by a few monthsJust two days before United States President Donald Trump claimed that American B-2 stealth bombers had dropped the biggest explosive since World War II on Iranian nuclear facilities, trucks were reportedly seen queuing outside the main target at Fordow.
According to the Daily Mail, satellite images had shown several cargo vehicles at the entrance of the tunnel, the site of key Iranian nuclear facilities inside a mountain.

However, fresh findings suggest there were frantic efforts to relocate some centrifuges and significant quantities of enriched uranium just before the US carried out the strike. The pressing question now is: where was it moved to?
According to experts, one possible place was a secret facility allegedly buried even deeper under another mountain called Mount Doom, which was 90 miles south of Fordow.
In Farsi, Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La, also known in English as ‘Pickaxe Mountain,’ is the new potential site for the nuclear facility. It is located in the Zagros Mountains in central Iran, a location on the outskirts of one of the government’s other nuclear sites at Natanz.
How Iran moved Uranium from nuclear sitesThere were indications that the Islamic Republic moved some centrifuges and highly enriched uranium (HEU) to hardened or secret locations before the US carried out its attacks, to facilities around Pickaxe Mountain.
Professor of international relations and security at the University of Bradford, Christoph Bluth, commented on the development.
He claimed that previous intelligence had indicated a large tunnel was being bored into the mountain, and it was suspected that the move was to embark on an advanced enrichment facility.
A United States intelligence report recently concluded that American strikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities, but set the country back just a few months behind schedule. This came as Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed victory in the 12-day war.
On Tuesday, June 24, Israel and Iran reportedly agreed to a ceasefire, a development that ended the 12-day tit-for-tat strikes between the two countries. At the weekend, US President Donald Trump joined the war with bunker-busting bombs, targeting three key Iranian nuclear sites.
