VIENNA, March 3 — The UN nuclear watchdog has confirmed that entrances to Iran’s underground Natanz uranium-enrichment plant, which had been previously targeted, were damaged amid US-Israeli military strikes on the country.
The Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP) is one of three Iranian uranium-enrichment facilities known to be operational when Israel and the United States carried out attacks on Iranian nuclear sites last June.
“Based on the latest satellite imagery, the IAEA can now confirm some recent damage to the entrance buildings of Iran’s underground Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant,” the International Atomic Energy Agency said on X.
The agency added, “No radiological consequences are expected, and no further impact has been detected at the FEP itself, which sustained severe damage during the June strikes.”
The IAEA’s assessment aligns with findings from the US think-tank Institute for Science and International Security, released yesterday, after Iran reported that Natanz had been hit on Sunday, with the agency noting that any military strikes were not significant. — Reuters
