Tehran, March 3 (.) Entrances to Iran’s underground uranium-enrichment site at Natanz, previously damaged in earlier strikes, were hit again during recent U.S.-Israeli military operations, the U.N. nuclear watchdog confirmed Tuesday.
The underground Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP) is one of three uranium-enrichment facilities in Iran known to have been operational when Israel and the United States launched strikes on Iranian nuclear sites last June.
“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,” the International Atomic Energy Agency said on X.
“No radiological consequence expected and no additional impact detected at FEP itself, which was severely damaged in the June conflict,” it added.
The agency’s assessment aligns with findings released Monday by the Institute for Science and International Security. After Iran reported on Sunday that Natanz had been targeted, the IAEA indicated that any military action did not appear to be significant.. .
