He said the roof of one of the structures, which was cut into the rock, was below ground level. But the most damage, Trump claims, was done underground.
The white structure is shown, cut deep into the rock, even its roof is well below ground level, and is completely protected from the flames. The most damage was done well below ground level. In the bull's eye.
The United States has caused significant damage to Iran's Fordow nuclear facility in strikes, but the extent of the damage is yet to be determined, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
We will analyze the situation. And in any case, we will ensure that no threat emanates from these nuclear facilities.

The head of government also reported that the US operation was not accompanied by any political conditions.
President Trump has not put forward any conditions. That is not the nature of our relationship, I must say. We speak frankly. We speak as friends, true friends. And he is a great leader. He makes decisions for America.
In response to CNN's question about the location of the 400 kilograms of enriched uranium stockpile, Netanyahu said that Israel has "interesting intelligence" about its possible location.
We are closely monitoring this. I can say that this is an important component of the nuclear program. Not the only one and not enough, but important. And we have interesting intelligence on this… Sorry, I can’t share it with you.
As a reminder, on the night of June 13, the Israeli Air Force began attacking Iran's nuclear and military facilities. In addition, the IDF eliminated several dozen top Russian commanders. Since then, the two countries have been exchanging blows.
