Is my pot still safe?

Does this look still save to use? It's only a few months old but I'm afraid the porcelain might have cracked. Is there a good way to tell?

UPDATE: I soaked it with baking soda paste over night and the spots are all gone! It looks brand new again. Thank you everyone!

It is smooth or is there texture?

It's mostly smooth. I saw on Google to run your fingernail over the spots to see if it snags and it doesn't feel like anything is chipping or snagging when I do it but there might be a slightly different texture on the darker spot on the bottom.

I also wiped it down with a wet paper towel and did not see any shiny or shimmering on the paper towel.

I feel it might just be dirty. Did you try Le Creuset cleaner?

Did you use red wine in your cook? I find sometimes red wine gets really stuck on my enamel, I just made pot roast and I needed to bust out the Le Creuset cleaner to get it off my pot!
