A day after warning about the possibility of a nuclear accident due to the ongoing war, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced this Tuesday that you already have evidence of damage in one of the plants uranium enrichment in Iran. Specifically, as reported by this UN agency that is in charge of monitoring nuclear activity in the world, impacts have been detected at the entrance to the Iranian nuclear facility. Natanzone of the main ones in the country.
Even so, as the agency added, for now “no radiological consequences are expected” and “no additional impact has been detected on the facility, which was severely damaged” by the attacks in June. The analysis is based on satellite images reviewed by the organization, it has been explained.
The IAEA has confirmed Thus, news previously reported by the iranian ambassador before this UN nuclear control body, Reza Najafí. In fact, when asked on Monday by journalists about which facilities had been hit, Najafí responded: “Natanz.” “They attacked Iran’s peaceful and safeguarded nuclear facilities again yesterday,” he added.

The revelation too leaves in questionone more time, the statements of the American president, Donald Trumpwho in June assured that the bombings ordered by his Administration had caused “total destruction” of the Iranian nuclear program. After the attacks, which lasted for 12 days, the president went so far as to describe the operation as “monumental.”
However, some of the most enriched Iranian uranium – close to the grade needed to build the atomic bomb – would have continued to be stored in underground facilities, especially at the nuclear complex of Isfahan. This is how I picked it up last week a confidential IAEA reportto which the Efe and Reuters agencies had access, which placed there 60% enriched uranium reserves of purity.
The information also comes after the IAEA warned on Monday of risk of a nuclear accident in the context of the ongoing war. “The current situation is very worrying. We cannot rule out a possible radiological leak with serious consequences, including the eventual need to evacuate large areas, comparable in size or even larger than that of large cities,” said its general director, the Argentine Rafael Grossi.
