Today’s Episode (Part I)

On Saturday June 21st, the U.S. dropped 14, 30,000 pound bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s three key nuclear sites: Natanz, Esfahan and the infamous Fordo, where 12 of the 14 bombs were dropped.

Since the bombing of these three nuclear sites, which President Donald Trump said were “completely and totally obliterated,” there has been some speculation in the press  as to how much damage was actually done.

While the world scrambles to figure out what was destroyed, what was damaged, and what was left intact, we are asking what was Iran’s actual nuclear program and how was it built?

To help answer those questions, we asked physicist and weapons expert David Albright, who is the President and Founder of the Institute for Science and International Security. David has written numerous books and assessments on nuclear weapons programs and has testified on multiple occasions on nuclear issues before the U.S. Congress.
