Underground Halls at Iran's Natanz Enrichment Plant Suffered "Direct Impacts" from Israel Strikes, IAEA Says
(New York Times) Matthew Mpoke Bigg - The International Atomic Energy Agency said Tuesday that it had identified "direct impacts" on the underground enrichment halls at the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz, the main site for uranium enrichment, after Israel targeted the facility with missiles last Friday. The IAEA initially said that the attack had destroyed the aboveground part of the fuel enrichment plant, including its electricity infrastructure, but its latest statement reflected an assessment of more significant damage. It issued its updated assessment on the basis of continued analysis of high resolution satellite imagery.
