CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.55
Iranian state TV said US strikes in Hormozgan Province killed three, wounded eight, and damaged two bridges and a tunnel.
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.
