Key points
- The United States attacked Iran's nuclear facilities on the night of June 22. To do this, they used B-2 Spirit strategic bombers and GBU-57 bunker buster bombs.
- Army General and former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine Mykola Malomuzh assessed the US strike on Iran.
The United States struck Iran's nuclear facilities. The Americans used B-2 Spirit strategic bombers for this. They are part of the US nuclear triad.
General of the Army, former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine Nikolai Malomuzh told Channel 24 about this, noting that the B-2 Spirit is capable of carrying nuclear weapons. Of course, Iran's nuclear facilities were damaged by bunker buster bombs.
Nuclear facilities are definitely damaged
As Malomuzh noted, it is clear that Iran was also preparing for the possibility that the United States could strike its nuclear facilities. It is obvious that they were trying to mislead the Americans and the Israelis.
I have been to Iran many times. And I saw approximately these objects and what capabilities there are. Probably, there was a violation of the communication systems, support systems, remote control systems of the reactors. They are less protected than the reactors. Also, the reactors were either not damaged or were insignificantly damaged, – noted Malomuzh.
However, it is unlikely that Iran will be able to restore operations in 2-3 months, as they said. It is worth understanding that the high-tech equipment there has been assembled all over the world for many years. It is unlikely that Iran has the capacity to quickly assemble all of this.
And even if they supposedly took out 400 kilograms of enriched uranium. For now, this means nothing. It needs to be further enriched. This requires ready-made centrifuges, control systems, security, personnel, and so on, Malomuzh emphasized.
Let us add that on the night of June 22, the United States struck Iran's nuclear facilities. To do this, they used GBU-57 bunker busters and Tomahawk missiles. There were reports that the United States failed to destroy these facilities. Trump claims that this is fake news.
