TEHRAN: Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization has officially confirmed that the Natanz uranium enrichment facility sustained damage during the recent Israeli airstrikes.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has also verified the damage but reported no increase in radiation levels following the strikes. According to sources, the Natanz site was a primary target in the Israeli offensive, raising concerns over the broader implications for regional security and the future of Iran’s nuclear program.On the other hand, International Atomic Energy Agency has convened a special emergency meeting of its Board of Governors in response to the Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities. The meeting is scheduled to take place on June 16 and will focus on assessing the implications of the attacks, particularly their impact on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and regional stability. According to IAEA sources, the agency is closely monitoring the situation, especially following reports confirming damage to Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment site. While no radiation leak has been reported, the incident has raised serious concerns within the international community.
