The UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), reported on Saturday that no damage was observed at Iran’s Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant or the Khondab heavy water reactor, which is still under construction.

Regarding the Israeli strikes on Friday, the IAEA confirmed that no additional damage was noted at the Natanz nuclear facility, one of the main sites targeted in the attacks.

The agency added that Iran’s Nuclear Regulatory Authority had informed it of no changes in off-site radiation levels in Isfahan, another nuclear site hit in the air offensive. However, four key buildings at the Isfahan facility were damaged, including a uranium conversion plant and a fuel plate fabrication unit.

The IAEA reassured that, similar to Natanz, no increase in off-site radiation is expected from the damage at Isfahan.
