Iran's Health Ministry said two days of US strikes killed 14 people and injured 78, with 47 still hospitalised, as of 9 July 2026.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because with inspectors locked out of Fordow and Natanz, the world no longer knows how much enriched uranium Iran actually has, shrinking the warning time before a possible weapon and raising the odds of a preemptive Israeli or US strike based on guesswork.
