Commercial satellite imagery has confirmed extensive damage to multiple Iranian nuclear and military facilities following US and Israeli airstrikes. The images, captured by providers including Maxar Technologies (now Vantor) and Planet Labs, show craters, destroyed buildings, and debris fields across some of Iran’s most sensitive nuclear sites.
What the satellites captured
Satellite images dated March 1-2, 2026, reveal extensive destruction at the Natanz uranium enrichment complex, including demolished personnel buildings and wrecked vehicle access points leading to underground enrichment areas.
The Fordow enrichment facility took hits from bunker-buster munitions, with visible craters and debris confirmed by imagery from June 24, 2025. Additional Israeli strikes damaged access routes and tunnels at the site.
The Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center shows widespread infrastructure destruction from targeted strikes, with June 2025 imagery confirming the precision of the attacks. Satellite footage from March 2026 also documented significant impacts at the Taleghan nuclear test facility, again showing evidence of bunker-buster use.
