There appear to have been “direct impacts” on the underground part of Iran’s Natanz nuclear site during Israel’s initial attacks, the UN’s atomic watchdog says.
“Based on continued analysis of high resolution satellite imagery collected after Friday’s attacks, the IAEA has identified additional elements that indicate direct impacts on the underground enrichment halls at Natanz,” the International Atomic Energy Agency writes on X.
