Satellite images appeared to show scores of trucks lined up at Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility just days before the US carried out its large-scale air strikes – as speculation swirled that Tehran may have been able to move its uranium stockpiles before the attacks.

New satellite images captured the damage inflicted by the U.S. military on Iran's Isfahan and Natanz nuclear facilities, which were targeted in weekend bombings.

The U.S. struck Fordow, roughly 60 miles south of Tehran, as well as the Natanz complex to the southeast and Isfahan, southwest of Natanz, Trump said. The president hailed the attacks as a "spectacular military success," adding: "Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."
