IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi informed his Security Council that the service had received information early in the morning on the Israeli military operation, which included its blows.

The IAEA is in constant communication with the Iranian Nuclear Energy Regulatory Authority to assess damage and potential risks.

According to Mr. Grossi:

. The underground portion of the pilot factory, where heaven was enriched up to 60% U-235, was destroyed, as was the electrodic infrastructure (station, generators, backup systems).

Nuclear facilities in Natanz

There is no indication of a natural destruction in the underground section of the facilities, but the power failure may have caused damage to the centrifuges.

Radioactivity levels out of space remain normal, without external impact on the population or environment.

Inside the facilities, there has been radiological and chemical infection, mainly from alpha particles, which are manageable with appropriate protection measures.

In addition, Iran reported attacks on two more areas:

  • Forto (enrichment unit)
  • Isfahan (Fuel Manufacturing and Conversion Factories, Ricked Dust UO₂)

The IAEA does not yet have a complete picture, but confirms that there was a military activity near these facilities, which initially were not a target, but they seem to have been involved.

‘Nuclear facilities should never be a target of attacks’

The Director General of the IAEA reiterated with emphasis that:

“Nuclear facilities should never be a target of attacks, regardless of circumstances.”

He cited relevant resolutions of the General Conference of the IAEA (such as GC/44/RES/44 and GC/46/RES/533), which report that such attacks violate the UN Charter, International Law and the Statute of the IAEA.

THE IAEA:

  • It has put in place a special tracking group with senior executives on 24 -hour readiness,
  • Has enhanced communication with Iranian authorities and on -the -spot inspectors,
  • Has ensured that staff protection measures are taken,
  • He has declared ready to send technical experts on safety and nuclear surveillance issues.

Mr Grossi stressed that the only sustainable way out is dialogue and diplomacy:

“The IAEA remains a substantial and unique technical forum to promote peace, security and divergent through documented cooperation.”

He also said he is ready to travel immediately to Iran and personally assist in guaranteeing the security, non -dissemination and peaceful use of nuclear energy.

“I am personally committed – and on behalf of the service – to support any technical and diplomatic initiative that promotes the transparency, security and peaceful resolution of Iran’s nuclear issues,” he noted, “he noted,”
