The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed, based on satellite images, that Israeli and US attacks have damaged the entrance buildings of an underground uranium enrichment plant in the Iranian city of Natanz.

According to Ukrinform, the IAEA reported this on the social network X.

“Based on the latest available satellite imagery, IAEA can now confirm some recent damage to entrance buildings of Iran’s underground Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP),” the IAEA stated.

The agency noted that no radiation consequences are expected, and no additional damage to the plant itself, which was seriously damaged during an attack in June last year, has been detected.
