Destruction was recorded at three Iranian nuclear facilities after American airstrikes. This was announced on June 22 by the press service of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), citing the agency's Director General, Rafael Grossi.

"Iran's nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan have been hit. <...> Other buildings in Isfahan have been damaged in recent morning attacks. In addition, we found that the entrances to the underground tunnels in the complex were damaged," he is quoted as saying on the website.

According to Grossi, the extent of damage inside the uranium enrichment facilities at Fordo cannot yet be determined due to its underground location. It is clarified that the Iranian regulatory authorities have informed the IAEA that there has been no increase in radiation levels outside the three attacked nuclear facilities. He also stressed the importance of involving Iran and the United States in diplomatic negotiations on the cessation of hostilities.

"The military escalation threatens lives and delays a diplomatic solution to ensure that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons," Grossi said during a speech at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.

On June 21, US President Donald Trump announced that the United States had attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. He then threatened Tehran with new strikes if peace was not achieved. On June 22, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi accused the United States of violating the UN Charter, international law and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
