Satellite images reveal fresh damage at Iran’s Bushehr plant amid US-Israeli strikes

New Sentinel-2 satellite images taken July 7 and July 12 show newly formed impact scars inside the Bushehr nuclear power plant complex in Iran, amid renewed US strikes. Iran’s deputy governor said surrounding areas were hit but stressed the reactor itself remained undamaged and operational; CENTCOM said it struck about 90 military targets in Iran on July 7–8 and did not publicly identify Bushehr. The IAEA has previously documented prior projectile incidents near the site with no reactor damage, underscoring that Bushehr is Iran’s only operating nuclear facility and remains a focal point in the broader escalation.
