Satellite imagery has revealed significant damage to two of Iran’s main nuclear facilities following Israeli airstrikes, while Iranian rocket fire overnight hit the Israeli port city of Haifa, striking a power station and causing widespread outages.
The images, released by Maxar Technologies, offer the clearest view yet of the destruction caused by Israeli strikes on the Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites.
At Natanz, Iran’s primary uranium enrichment facility, visible damage was recorded at the pilot fuel enrichment plant and an electrical substation. In Isfahan, at least two structures were visibly hit, with scorch marks seen near the site’s perimeter.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that it had detected “no increase in off-site radiation” at either facility.
Israel launched its aerial offensive on Iran on 13 June, claiming to have targeted hundreds of sensitive military and government sites across the country and to have killed dozens of commanders and nuclear scientists.
The Israeli military has claimed to have destroyed one third of Iran's surface-to-surface missile launchers.
Iran has said that at least 224 people had been killed in the Israeli attacks so far, the vast majority of them civilians, with more than a thousand injured. These claims are difficult to verify due to strict media controls within the Islamic Republic.
Iran has also delivered heavy retaliatory strikes. Overnight, Iranian missiles struck Haifa, Israel’s largest port city, hitting a key power station and causing mass power cuts across the area.
Video footage widely shared across media platforms shows Israeli air defence systems attempting to intercept incoming rockets over Haifa, with at least two hypersonic missiles seen hitting near the port.
Israeli media reported several injuries in Haifa, while other cities suffered more severe losses. Tel Aviv, Israel’s financial centre, sustained extensive damage, and at least 22 buildings in the Bat Yam area are now slated for demolition, local authorities said.
Israel’s national emergency services said the country’s death toll has reached 23 since the war erupted on Friday, with hundreds more wounded.
In a statement following the Iranian strikes, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz issued a warning aimed at Tehran.
"The arrogant dictator of Tehran has become a cowardly murderer who targets Israel’s civilian home front to deter the IDF from continuing its offensive," Katz said. "The residents of Tehran will pay the price, and soon."
Katz later walked back on these comments, saying Israel had no intention of deliberately harming Tehran's residents.
"The residents of Tehran will have to pay the price of dictatorship and evacuate their homes from areas where it will be necessary to attack regime targets and security infrastructures in Tehran," he said.
