Iran accuses Israel and the United States of having attacked its nuclear facility at Natanz yesterday, one of the main targets of the previous conflict between the three countries last June.

“The criminal regimes of the United States and Israel, pursuing their aggression, again targeted the Natanz nuclear site on Sunday afternoon in two brutal attacks,” Iran’s atomic energy chief Mohammad Eslami says in a letter to the UN’s nuclear watchdog quoted by the IRNA news agency.

The UN agency’s head earlier today said that there was “no indication” that any nuclear installations had been hit.
