Satellite images show Iranian sites before and after airstrikes

A satellite image captured on Sunday and Monday by Vantor shows the effect of US-Israel attacks on many sites in Iran.

The US struck more than 1,250 targets in the first two days of Operation Epic Fury, according to a document released by the US Central Command, which said the US was striking targets “to disrupt the security apparatus of the Iranian regime, prioritizing areas that pose an imminent threat.”

Satellite images show damage to sites including the compound of Choqa Balk-e, the former Supreme Leader Building of Ayatollah Ali Khameneithe Natanz nuclear complex and the radar system at Zahedan airbase.

Khamenei compound

Khamenei was killed in one of the first strikes, along with about 40 other senior Iranian officials. Khamenei’s moves had been followed for months by the CIA, which learned of a Saturday morning meeting at a compound in Tehran that Khamenei was expected to attend, according to a person familiar with the matter. That intelligence was then passed on to their Israeli counterparts, the person told CBS News.

Natanz nuclear power plant

The Natanz enrichment facility was one of three nuclear facilities that existed before targets of separate Israeli and American airstrikes in June last year. It was not clear how much damage those early strikes did to Iran’s nuclear program.

President Trump said they “destroyed” three nuclear sites, as well as Iran’s nuclear program it was set back “basically decades.” Iran downplayed the strikes at the time, arguing they did not exhaust its technological capabilities.

“Yes, you destroyed facilities, equipment, but technology cannot be bombed, and determination cannot be bombed,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Fox News in January.

Satellite images from late January showed roofs being erected over damaged buildings in Natanz and other sites, indicating that Iran was trying to salvage equipment from the facilities.

Choqa Balk-e Center

The area of ​​Choqa Balk-e frone is located in western Iran. The country is known to operate Shahed-136 “kamikaze” drones, a single-role drone with a built-in warhead that explodes on impact.

Zahedan airbase radar system

Zahedan airbase is located in the eastern part of Iran, not far from the country’s borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan.
