IAEA Confirms Israeli Attack on Iranian Centrifuge Workshop

Esfahan: A centrifuge manufacturing workshop has been hit in Esfahan, marking the third such facility targeted in Israel’s recent attacks on Iran’s nuclear-related sites over the past week, as confirmed by Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

According to Qatar News Agency, the workshop manufactured machines used to enrich uranium and was under IAEA monitoring and verification as part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The IAEA stated in a statement that there was no nuclear material at this site, and therefore, the attack will not have any radiological consequences.

The IAEA had previously announced that facilities in Tehran and Karaj were also subjected to Israeli bombardment. These attacks are part of a series of strikes that began on June 13, targeting nuclear sites in Arak, Esfahan, Karaj, Natanz, and Tehran.

Grossi mentioned that these attacks have led to a significant degradation in nuclear safety and security. He emphasized that the agency continues to closely monitor the situation and will submit periodic reports to the UN Security Council.
