Satellite imagery taken after the US strike on Iran's Fordow site showed smoke rising from the fuel enrichment plant. US President Donald Trump claimed key Iranian nuclear sites had been "obliterated," while Iran claimed it had removed nuclear material from the sites before the strikes.

Those neat little slider things that do a great job of showing before and after typically work better when the images are aligned.

Also, having the handle on the middle of the picture instead of underneath is awful on mobile where you can't see anything because of your own finger.

Grab it with your finger and then move your finger down, you can then swipe left and right without blocking it

[-] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

There's a region around the handle where you can grab it to slide left-right but also be scrolling the page up and down, defeating the attempt to move the finger out of the way.

The first time I tried it I kept hitting that region, but I see now that with a bit more precision you can avoid the up-down segment.

I thought we needed to use nukes to penetrate their nuclear sites. Either that was a lie or these attacks did not do what Trump is saying it did.

The US used 14 of their largest bunker busters (GBU-57) at the Fordow facility. That's as close as you can get to nuclear without actual nukes. Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/22/how-effective-was-the-us-attack-on-irans-nuclear-sites-a-visual-guide

I read they didn't knew if it's going to work or not. They still don't know if it worked. Trump says it worked because he's Trump.

~~The landslides at Fordow look extensive. The whole mountain must have shaken.~~

Edit: Maybe what I'm seeing is just shadows rather than new debris at the bottoms of some slopes.

I thought I could see piles of debris at the bottoms of some slopes in the after pictures which weren't there in the before pictures, but now that I'm looking at them again, I'm no longer sure that what I'm seeing isn't just a difference in the shadows. (Presumably the pictures were taken at different times of the day.) I'm going to edit my original statement.

I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong. I just didn't recognize anything that looked like it. However, I wasn't really awake then either.

I think they lost funding from USAID, so I don't know what it is now.
