Iran confirmed that its Fordow nuclear facility sustained limited damage following recent attacks, the semi-official ISNA news agency reported on Saturday, citing a spokesperson for the country's atomic energy organization.

"There has been limited damage to some areas at the Fordow enrichment site," state atomic energy agency spokesperson Behrouz Kamalvandi said. "We had already moved a significant part of the equipment and materials out, and there was no extensive damage, and there are no contamination concerns.".

Iranian media reported two explosions heard in the area of the nuclear site, and claimed that Iranian air defenses shot down an Israeli drone in the vicinity.

Questions have been raised if whether Israel has the capacity to destroy Fordow, which lies underneath a mountain.

It has been widely known since the US used the 30,000-pound mega bunker buster MOAB ("Mother of All Bombs") in Afghanistan in 2017 (officially called the GBU-43/B /B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb), a weapon that Israel does not possess, that Washington has greater capabilities for potentially destroying Fordow.
