ReutersThe head of the global nuclear watchman says there was no harm to the Iranian Uranus enrichment plant after the country’s nuclear monuments hit Israel on Friday.
Rafael Grosi told the Council of Heads of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that Natants had destroyed an object of enrichment above the ground, but that there were no signs of physical attack in the underground facility.
According to him, four buildings were also damaged at the site of Isfahan, including a uranium transformation plant, and there were no visible damage at the Fordo enrichment plant.
Israel said he attacked the site and killed nine nuclear scientists to stop the development of nuclear weapons.
It stated that in recent months, Iran “took measures for arms” by its enriched uranium, which can be used to prepare fuel for power plants, but also nuclear bombs.
On Sunday, Iran reaffirmed that its nuclear program was peaceful and called on the 35-national IAEA College to condemn Israeli strikes.
On Monday, Grosi informed the Council that the IAEA is very closely monitoring the situation in Iran, finding out the status of nuclear facilities and assessing the level of radiation through communication with local authorities.
He stated that the attack on Friday on Natants destroyed the higher part of the pilot plant to enrich fuel (PFEP), where the center-fed cascades produced uranium up to 60% up to 90% required for uranium arms
The electricity infrastructure was also destroyed, which included an electrical substation, food and ambulance generators.
“There was no indication on the physical attack on the underground cascading hall containing a part of the PFEP, and the main fuel enrichment plant. However, the loss of power of the cascade hall may have damaged the centrifuge there,” Grosi added.
He also said that radiological and chemical pollution occurred on the spot, but the level of radioactivity outside remained unchanged at normal.
On Friday, the Israeli military said that the underground center also damaged the Natanets attack, but it did not give evidence.
The IAEA leader said the four buildings were damaged in a separate attack on Friday at the ISFAHAN Nuclear Technology Center, the central chemical laboratory, the Uranium transformation plant, the Tehran Reactor fuel production plant and the Urrana Heaksaphoride to convert to Uranus metal.
As in Natants, the radiation level outside the site remains unchanged, he added.
On Friday, the Israeli military stated that the ISFAhan strike “dismantled the metal uranium production, infrastructure for the transformation of enriched uranium, laboratories and additional infrastructure.”
On Saturday, the semi-final official agency of the Iranian news agency quoted a spokesman for Iran’s atomic energy organization (Aeoi) that after the Israeli attack after the Israeli attack, “limited damage to some areas”.
However, the Israeli military did not confirm that they hit any blows.
Grosi said that no damage was found in the Fordo or Hondab Reactor Hondab.
He urged all parties to maximize restraint, warning that the military escalation threatened life and increased the likelihood of radiological release with serious consequences for people and the environment.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakhchi said on Saturday in Tehran in Tehran that Israel’s attacks on his country’s nuclear facilities were a “brazen violation of international law,” and that he hoped that the IAEA would have made a strong condemnation.
He also said that Iran’s missile strikes on Israel were a “response to aggression.”
A spokesman for the Israeli military Brig Brig Ether Defrin said on Monday that his large-scale air campaign “would continue to act in achieving the goal of the operation to neutralize the existential threat from Iran, from its nuclear project to the Misch regime.”
Iran’s Ministry of Health says more than 220 people have been killed on Friday by Israeli strikes. According to Israeli authorities, twenty -four Israeli were killed by Iranian missiles.
Last Thursday officially the IAEA Council proclaimed Iran a violation of his obligations For the first time in 20 years. The resolution states that Iran’s “a lot of failures” will provide the agency with full answers to its undeclared nuclear and nuclear activity to failure to comply with the requirements.
According to the 2015 nuclear transaction with the world powers, Iran did not allow to enrich Uranus above 3.67% of the cleanliness – the level required for fuel for commercial nuclear power plants – and did not allow any enrichment in Fordo for 15 years.
However, US President Donald Trump has abandoned the agreement during his first term in 2018, saying it had done too little to stop the way to the bomb, and resumed US sanctions.
Iran has avenged, increasingly violating the restrictions – especially those concerning enrichment. He resumed enrichment in Fordo in 2021 and scored 60%, enriched with uranium to potentially make nine nuclear bombs, the IAEA reports.
