No sign of radioactive leakage outside bombed nuclear site, says Iran
Iran’s atomic energy organisation has confirmed its Natanz nuclear site was damaged in an Israeli attack this morning, but says there is no evidence of leakage of radioactive or chemical contamination outside the facility.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran also said in a statement it had received no reports of casualties yet at Natanz, Iran’s main uranium enrichment site.
It said investigations were continuing to determine the extent of the damage to the site.
The statement also criticised the global nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, for failing to take action despite repeated warnings from Iranian officials about Israeli threats against the country’s nuclear infrastructure in recent years.
Israel claims attack on Iran’s air defences
In a statement on X, the Israeli military says it has carried out a “large-scale strike against the Iranian regime’s air defense system in western Iran”.
“As part of the attacks, dozens of radars and surface-to-air missile launchers were destroyed,” the army said.
“These strikes improve the Air Force’s freedom of aerial action,” the statement added.
