IAEA confirms destruction of iran’s natanz nuclear enrichment plant

Investing.com -- The United Nations nuclear watchdog confirmed Friday that the above-ground pilot enrichment plant at Iran’s Natanz nuclear site has been destroyed.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi informed the U.N. Security Council about the destruction during a meeting with the 15-member council.

"At present, the Iranian authorities are informing us of attacks on two other facilities, namely the Fordow fuel enrichment plant and at Isfahan," Grossi said.

Grossi added that the IAEA currently lacks sufficient information about these additional sites, only noting that "military activity has been taken place around these facilities as well."

The IAEA continues to monitor the situation as developments unfold at these Iranian nuclear facilities.
