Dubai: The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog said on Monday that very heavy damage is expected at Iran’s underground facility at Fordo after a US airstrike there this weekend with sophisticated bunker-buster bombs. Rafael Mariano Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made the statement in Vienna.Given the explosive payload utilised and the extreme vibration sensitive nature of centrifuges, very significant damage is expected to have occurred, Gross said. He added that at this time, no one, including the IAEA, is in a position to have fully assessed the underground damage at Fordo.
