"Our inspectors remain in Iran"
JCPOA was the extra deal that allowed the IAEA to inspect more than just nuclear facilities and put surveillance cameras on things that aren't nuclear enough to be covered by the NPT like dual use industrial equipment and raw uranium ore. Iran still follows the NPT and all the bombed facilities are declared nuclear sites that the IAEA has been inspecting.
I don't think that "centrifuges, rotors and bellows" qualify for "aren't nuclear enough". Combined with the raw uranium ore, there is no way to know how much refinement is being done.
Saying that inspections continued uninterrupted is a little bit disingenuous when it leaves out that the inspection capabilities have been rolled back so far as to make them nearly useless.
I still seriously doubt the "intelligence" used to justify these attacks. I also think that it's extremely unlikely that the bulk of Iran's enriched stockpiles were destroyed by the US attacks. I also think the US knew that would be the case, laying bare the truth that destroying them was never the real objective.
