US EditionIAEA Confirms Structural Damage at Iran’s Natanz Nuclear Site with No Radiation Leak
The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed the damage is confined to entrance buildings at Natanz with no expected radiological impact, after satellite imagery showed recent strikes.
- On March 2, 2026, commercial satellite images from Vantor captured apparent strikes on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility, analysts say, marking the first known attacks since the US-Israeli operation began.
- Early on Saturday, the United States and Israel launched an air campaign, citing Iran's nuclear programme nearing weapons capability, and previously struck it last year.
- The imagery, first highlighted by Ben Tzion Macales, reveals the Institute for Science and International Security found three buildings at Natanz destroyed, including two personnel entrances and the only vehicle access ramp, with damage dated between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning by David Albright.
- The IAEA noted that its crisis-response centre cannot reach Iran's nuclear regulators, while Reza Najafi insisted `Again they attacked Iran's peaceful, safeguarded nuclear facilities yesterday`, the board was told.
- Analysts say the strikes may reflect targeting recoverable centrifuges, while the IAEA shows Iran held around 440 kilograms of 60 per cent enriched uranium mostly unharmed by June strikes.
