IAEA confirms some damage to Iran's Natanz nuclear site

03-03-2026 02:13 PM


Ammon News - Entrances to Iran's underground and ​previously bombed uranium-enrichment plant at Natanz ‌have been struck as part of the U.S.-Israeli military attacks on the country, the U.N. ​nuclear watchdog confirmed on Tuesday.

The underground ​Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP) is one of Iran's ⁠three uranium-enrichment plants that are known ​to have been operating when Israel and ​the United States carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities last June.

"Based on the latest available satellite ​imagery, IAEA can now confirm some ​recent damage to entrance buildings of Iran's underground ‌Natanz ⁠Fuel Enrichment Plant," the International Atomic Energy Agency said on X.

"No radiological consequence expected and no additional impact detected at FEP ​itself, which ​was ⁠severely damaged in the June conflict," it added.

The IAEA's finding fits ​with that of U.S. think-tank ​the ⁠Institute for Science and International Security published on Monday after Iran said Natanz was hit ⁠on ​Sunday and the IAEA responded ​that any military strikes were not major.
