Obliterated? Damaged? Inoperable? What's known about Iran's nuclear facilities

(NPR) Following nearly two weeks of strikes by American and Israeli forces, there's no doubt that the key parts of Iran's nuclear program have been dealt a blow. But how bad was it? A leaked Defense Intelligence Agency document claims the damage to one site could have been minimal, while the head of the CIA has said that Iran's overall nuclear program had been "severely damaged." President Trump, for his part, insists that the program has been destroyed.

"It's called obliteration," Trump said at a press conference yesterday in the Hague. "No other military on Earth could have done it, and now this incredible exercise of American strength has paved the way for peace."

Here's each of Iran's four main nuclear sites and what's known about their current condition.
