Recent reports indicate that American airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities were less effective than anticipated, with only one out of three sites—Fordow—sustaining significant damage. A new U.S. assessment reveals that while the Fordow site was mostly destroyed, the other two facilities, Natanz and Isfahan, remain largely operational and could resume enriching uranium within months. The strikes were part of a larger military operation, dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer, but former President Trump reportedly rejected plans for more extensive strikes after assessing the limited impact of the initial attacks. Amid congressional skepticism regarding the effectiveness and costs of this military action, U.S. lawmakers are calling for a thorough evaluation of the operation. Additionally, discussions between U.S. and Israeli officials are ongoing regarding potential future strikes, despite a setback in the Iranian nuclear program being projected to last up to two years.
