Russian nuclear expert Alexei Anfilogov stated today (Wednesday) that the damage to Iran’s nuclear program is only minor, as reported by Fars Today.
In his remarks, he claimed: "Key evidence points to the limited effectiveness of the recent U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities." He added: "Major figures have questioned the effectiveness of the recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites."
He noted that Iran’s uranium reserves remain significant: approximately 3 tons of uranium enriched to 2%, more than 3.5 tons enriched to 5%, hundreds of kilograms enriched to 20%, and even uranium enriched to 60% at the 235 level.
He said, "Following the attacks, there were no reports of radiation leaks or toxic gases, suggesting the strikes did not reach underground uranium storage facilities. Satellite images show rapid repairs. The blast crater near the Natanz nuclear site was filled within two days. This indicates the damage was superficial and easily repairable."
This directly contradicts both Israel and America's repeated claims that the nuclear facilities were severely damaged in the recent strikes.
