Satellite Shows Hit On Nuclear Facility In Iran's Natanz

Did they reach the centrifuges?

The United States has hit the Natanz nuclear site in Iran at least three times, OSINTers have noticed after studying satellite photos, writes Focus. During Washington's previous attack, which took place in the summer of 2025, they counted slightly more hits. What facilities at the Natanz site could have been damaged by US Army anti-bunker bombs?

Satellite photos from the incident site emerged on March 3, a day after reports of strikes on Iran's Natanz site, according to a post by an OSINT analyst with the nickname Brady Africk (Brady Africk).

An examination of the images showed that three hits occurred, with the distance between the hit points being 100 meters and 350 meters. OSINTer also outlined previous US attempts to destroy Iran's nuclear program: there were US bomb strikes in June 2025 and another attack in July 2020.

Brady Africk published a satellite image of the Natanz nuclear facility - the central above-ground buildings, next to which an underground complex of centrifuges for uranium enrichment at a depth of 8-40 m is located underground. Three U.S. bomb hits are seen, which occurred on March 2, 2026.

"Positions at the Natanz enrichment complex in Iran have been hit again, according to new satellite imagery. Here is an infographic showing different times and locations where the facility has been damaged over the years," OSINTer wrote.

The approximate coordinates on Google maps are point 1 33.72675, 51.72376, point 2 33.72581, 51.72374, point 3 33.72308, 51.72513. Nearby, six hits in June 2025 and another in July 2020. Washington conducted three special operations to destroy Iran's Natanz nuclear site, and despite the 2020 and 2025 hits, another attack was needed.

OSINTer with the nickname Shayan86 clarified which sites could have been damaged by U.S. bombs on March 2. He estimated that the U.S. hit "at least two ground structures near the underground enrichment hall [with centrifuges]." In addition, Israeli military expert Igal Levin wrote on Telegram that the new air attacks are likely aimed at disabling the auxiliary power infrastructure and ventilation system, without which the workshops cannot operate. In addition, the expert noted that in this way they may be trying to re-damage the ground-based centrifuge assembly shops that were hit by the June US strike: they were probably repaired by Iran.

Iran War - Natanz site in US crosshairs

Natanz is Iran's nuclear facility, which has about 60 square meters of underground workshops with centrifuges for uranium enrichment and other auxiliary equipment. The workshops are located at a depth of 8-40 meters and are protected by a layer of earth and concrete. In the summer of 2025, during the 12-day war in Iran, the US struck Natanz as well as the Fordow center. They used anti-bunker bombs: satellite photos showed craters with a diameter of 5.5 meters right above the halls with centrifuges. The Americans used 13-ton GBU-57A bombs and one and a half ton Tomahawk missiles for the strike.
