Iran's permanent representative to the IAEA announced attacks on the Natanz nuclear facility

Iran's Permanent Representative to the IAEA in Vienna, Reza Najafi, said that the Natanz nuclear facility was attacked during the US and Israeli strikes on Iran. This was reported on March 2 by the Reuters news agency.

"Yesterday, they attacked Iran's peaceful protected nuclear facilities again," the agency quoted Najafi as saying.

Natanz is a key facility of the Iranian nuclear program, where centrifuges for uranium enrichment are located. Previously, this facility had already become the target of sabotage and cyber attacks, which Tehran attributed to Israel.
