Attack on nuclear site Fordow

The Fordow site is one of Iran's most secure nuclear enrichment facilities, built deep underground to protect it from airstrikes.

This reported attack comes just a day after the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordow, as part of Operation Midnight Hammer.

Tensions in the region have spiked following these military operations, with Iran launching missile strikes on Israel in response.
