Iran confirms that its Fordo nuclear facility sustained limited damage following recent Israeli attacks, the semi-official ISNA news agency reports, citing a spokesperson for the country’s atomic energy organization.

“There has been limited damage to some areas at the Fordo enrichment site,” state atomic energy agency spokesperson Behrouz Kamalvandi says. “We had already moved a significant part of the equipment and materials out, and there was no extensive damage and there are no contamination concerns.”
