According to webangah News Agency, Russian nuclear specialist Alexei Anpilogov states that critical factors cast doubt on teh effectiveness of recent U.S. attacks against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
Anpilogov highlights Iran’s substantial uranium reserves:
- approximately 3 tons of uranium enriched to 2%
- Over 3.5 tons enriched to 5%
- Hundreds of kilograms enriched to 20%, including uranium-235 at 60% enrichment
The expert noted no post-attack reports of radiation leaks or toxic gas emissions, indicating strikes failed to reach underground uranium storage facilities.
“Satellite imagery shows rapid repairs,” the Russian analyst emphasized, pointing out that explosion craters near the Natanz nuclear site were filled within two days-demonstrating only superficial, repairable damage.
He stressed technical limitations: “America’s GBU-57 bunker buster penetrates just 60 meters in soft soil, while Iranian facilities lie beneath hard rock were penetration is limited to 2.5-18 meters-likely insufficient depth to destroy critical targets.”
The analysis presents two probable scenarios:
- The attacks only damaged surface structures (ventilation shafts and entry points)
- Uranium stocks were relocated preemptively to undisclosed sites unknown to U.S. intelligence
“Iran’s nuclear program appears largely intact despite recent strikes,” Anpilogov concluded, “with its enrichment capabilities remaining undiminished.”
