So, what’s the truth? What did Israel achieve? Did Iran manage to defend its strategic assets? And is the truce a pathway to peace?

What is Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility that the US has bombed? The US bombed Iran’s hardest-to-reach site on Sunday. Here’s why Fordow is so significant.

Fordow is the only Iranian facility at which IAEA inspectors found particles of uranium purified to near weapons-grade purity.

The site is designed to hold up to 2,976 spinning centrifuges a fraction of the capacity at Natanz, Iran’s main nuclear site.

Tehran is in shock – and we have fled with heavy hearts My family and I have no idea if, or when, we will return – or what we may return to.

We then picked up my mother – along with our four cats who have been staying with her – from her home in western Tehran …

Israeli bombs were falling on multiple areas across western Tehran as we scurried to grab the cats and put them in their boxes.
