The US bombing likely caused “very significant damage” to the underground parts of Iran’s Fordow nuclear site buried deep in a mountain, according to the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog. “Given the explosive payload utilized, and the extreme vibration-sensitive nature of centrifuges, very significant damage is expected to have occurred,” Rafael Grossi told the IAEA’s board of governors on Monday. However, he cautioned that no group, including the IAEA, is currently able to fully assess the underground damage at Fordow. The US struck the site early Sunday morning, using six B-2 bombers to drop 12 “bunker-buster” bombs on Fordow, each weighing around 30,000 pounds.

The IDF used drones to attack six airports in Iran overnight Sunday, destroying 15 aircraft as well as damaging runways, underground hangars, and a refueling plane. “The IDF attacked six airports in Iran,” the IDF stated. “Remotely piloted aircraft destroyed 15 Iranian regime warplanes and helicopters.” “As part of the effort to deepen air superiority in the skies of Iran, the IDF attacked six Iranian regime airfields in western, eastern, and central Iran.” “The attacks damaged runways, underground hangars, a refueling plane, and F-14, F-5, and AH-1 aircraft.” (YWN Israel Desk—Jerusalem)

Sirens blared throughout Israel during the prolonged Iranian missile attack on Israel on Monday morning. In some parts of Israel, only faint sirens could be heard, leaving residents wondering whether they needed to head to protected spaces or not. One Israeli driving on a highway in southern Israel was unsure if a siren was wailing or not but continued driving…and was miraculously saved from harm as a missile fell on the highway only meters in front of his car. A truck driving in the opposite direction was also only meters away when the missile hit. (YWN Israel Desk—Jerusalem)

Sirens sounded across Israel on Monday morning beginning shortly before 10:30 a.m. as Iran launched multiple barrages at the Jewish state one after the other, toward the north, the central area and the south—in the Lachish area, in the Gaza border area, and in the western Negev. Sirens continued to sound in various parts of the country for about 40 minutes, the longest stretch since the beginning of the war. There were impacts in Ashdod, Yavne, and Tel Arad, and in the north, including an open area in Tzfas. There were reports of property damage, but b’chasdei Hashem, there were no reports of injuries. Rescue flights bringing Israelis back home from abroad were forced to turn their planes around due to the attack. The IDF said that about 15 missiles were launched in four barrages.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social late Sunday to declare that the U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear targets had achieved complete destruction of the facilities.

Israel is set to begin limited flights in and out of Ben Gurion International Airport on Monday, the airport authority announced. Outgoing flights will operate with a maximum of 50 passengers because of new safety protocols, Israel Airports Authority (IAA) said in a statement. Israel’s Home Front Command has restricted large gatherings of people and closed non-essential workplaces because of the threat of Iranian ballistic missiles. Meanwhile, the IAA will allow approximately 24 incoming flights per day as part of what it’s calling the “Safe Return” operation, as tens of thousands of Israelis remain stranded abroad. These inbound flights are allowed to operate with an increased capacity.

President Trump shared that the U.S. strikes on three of Iran’s main nuclear facilities caused “monumental damage.” “Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images,” Trump shared in a Truth Social post. “Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame,” he described. “The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!’ (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
