The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said there are indications that part of Iran's Natanz nuclear facility was recently attacked.
"Based on the latest available satellite imagery, we were able to confirm some recent damage to the entrance building of Iran's underground uranium enrichment facility at Natanz," the IAEA wrote on X on Sunday. "No radiological impact is expected," the agency added. "No additional damage was detected to the enrichment facility itself, which already sustained significant damage during the conflict in June last year."
Earlier, Iranian Vice President and Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Chief Mohammad Eslami claimed in a letter to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi that the United States and Israel conducted two airstrikes on the Natanz nuclear facility on Saturday, calling it a violation of international law. However, Grossi said at an IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna, Austria, "There are no indications that nuclear facilities in Iran were attacked by the U.S. and Israel."
Meanwhile, the United States struck major Iranian nuclear facilities including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan with bunker buster bombs in June last year. U.S. President Donald Trump claimed at the time that the facilities were "completely destroyed." Trump launched military action against Iran on April 28, citing the suspension of Iran's nuclear program and preventing the country from acquiring nuclear weapons as justification for the strikes.
