Satellite images, maps show Iranian nuclear sites before and after
Here's a look at where strikes have been reported so far and what the nuclear sites looked like before and after the attacks: The Israeli military reports that it damaged an underground area of Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Natanz that contained a "multi-story enrichment hall with centrifuges, electrical rooms and additional supporting infrastructure." The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that at least one strike hit the Natanz nuclear site. The nuclear watchdog said in a statement that it has found "no elevated radiation levels" at the facility. The points mapped below are from daily assessments provided by the Institute for the Study of War and the Critical Threats Project at the American Enterprise Institute which include confirmed airstrikes, reported airstrikes, reports of explosion with footage, and reports of explosions without footage. The data is collected from open sources including geolocated visual evidence and opposition, local, and international media sources. USA TODAY has verified some but not all of the strikes assessed by Critical Threats and ISW. The below satellite images from Maxar Technologies show key Iranian nuclear facilities before and after the Israeli attacks. Israel struck Shiraz Electronics Industries in Shiraz, Fars Province, on June 15, according to the Critical Threats Project at the American Enterprise Institute. An Iranian munitions factory in Isfahan was targeted on June 15, the Critical Threats Project reported. Israel has also hit missile bases that reportedly stored solid and liquid-fueled missiles, including the Ghadir site, according to the Critical Threats Project.

Iran's nuclear sites before and after Israeli attacks: See updated maps, satellite images. Iran's state television headquarters was bombed by Israel and as the aerial war between the countries entered it's its fourth day on June 16. According to Reuters, the Israeli military escalated their bombardment of Iranian cities, while Iran showed they could bypass Israel's air defenses — missiles struck Tel Aviv and the Israeli port city of Haifa before dawn on July 16 . This flashpoint in the longstanding Israeli-Iranian conflict kicked off on June 13 when Israel struck Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Natanz and hit additional targets "at the heart" of the Islamic Republic's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "Iran's leading nuclear scientists" were also targets.

When will the first Buc-ee's in Mississippi open? Gas station chain has cult following
Hang on to your Beaver Nuggets. The first Buc-ee's in Mississippi is set to open in the next few months. The chain has a cult following across the country. And it holds two world records, including world's largest convenience store and world's longest car wash. The chain is known for having "the world's cleanest bathrooms, freshest food and friendliest beaver." The first Buc-ee's store in Mississippi will have other fan favorites like Texas barbecue, homemade fudge, kolaches, jerky and fresh pastries. Here's what we know about the chain, when the first Mississippi location could open. Recent reporting from the Sun Herald says the store is set to open in June. The chain broke ground on the site on Menge Avenue at Interstate 10 in Pass Christian in late 2023. Outside, there will be 120 fueling positions for pumping "cheap" gas and 24 EV charging stations at the 74,000-square-foot facility. That's a much larger travel center than those in Alabama, which range in size from 50,000 to 55,000 square feet. The new location in Harrison County is expected to bring at least 200 full-time jobs, with starting pay above minimum wage, full benefits, a 6% matching 401k plan and three weeks of paid vacation. The store started listing jobs in late 2024 and plans to gear up hiring as the opening date gets closer. Buc-ee's was founded in 1982 in Texas. The company has grown to 46 stores throughout the South. In 2019, Buc-ee's began a multi-state expansion, opening travel centers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee. Buc-ee's has also opened locations in Springfield, Missouri, and Johnstown, Colorado. According to the Buc-ee's website, you might have to drive a while. The first Buc-ee's in Louisiana is also under construction. It's a race to see whether the one in north Louisiana between Shreveport and Monroe or south Louisiana near Lafayette will open first. Both were on track to open in late 2025 or early 2026. There are already three in Alabama, including Athens, Auburn, Leeds and Loxley. In Tennessee, you can find a Buc-ee's at Crossville and Kodak. The largest Buc-ee's opened June 10 in Luling, Texas, near San Antonio. At 75,593 square feet, the store edged out the Sevierville, Tennessee, travel center, which had boasting rights for about a year with its 74,500-square-foot facility. USA TODAY reported another — even bigger — Buc-ee's is in the works. The one in Ocala, Florida, will encompass about 80,000 square feet. To see the world's longest car wash, you'll have to go to Katy, Texas. According to the chain, the site has 255 feet of conveyor. It opened in 2017 and was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. Last year, they also opened a 235-foot long one in Florida, making it the state's largest.
