Overview
- Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation, via state-linked media, said the Natanz enrichment complex was targeted on Saturday and reported no radioactive leakage or risk to nearby residents.
- The IAEA said Iran informed it of the strike, reported no increase in off‑site radiation levels, and noted that Director General Rafael Grossi continues to urge military restraint.
- Natanz is a principal, deeply hardened enrichment site housing extensive underground operations, and it has been struck repeatedly, including in June 2025 and earlier this month.
- Recent assessments and imagery have documented damage to surface and entrance structures at Natanz in earlier rounds of attacks, with no confirmed off‑site radiological consequences so far.
- Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned strike intensity will increase next week, as reporting also points to added US amphibious ships and thousands of Marines in the region.
