The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that U.S. strikes hit entrances to tunnels storing part of Iran’s enriched uranium at the Isfahan nuclear site.
In a statement released Sunday, the IAEA said it had verified damage to tunnel entrances at the Isfahan site, which is known to house much of Iran’s highly enriched uranium underground.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, speaking to the U.N. Security Council, confirmed the tunnels struck were used for storing enriched material. He emphasized that while Iran plans protective measures for its nuclear stockpile, these can be carried out in compliance with the agency’s safeguards under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Iranian officials have indicated they will take unspecified actions to safeguard their nuclear materials but have not informed the IAEA of these steps. Grossi stressed that such measures should respect Iran’s international obligations.
The strikes mark a significant escalation in tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program and pose challenges for ongoing international monitoring efforts.
