US EditionIAEA Confirms Structural Damage at Iran’s Natanz Nuclear Site with No Radiation Leak
The IAEA confirmed damage to entrance buildings at Natanz but detected no radiation leak, amid US-Israeli strikes targeting Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure.
- On March 4, 2026, the IAEA confirmed recent structural damage at entrance buildings of Iran’s Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant based on satellite imagery and said no radiological consequence is expected.
- Satellite analysts said imagery from the Institute for Science and International Security and Colorado-based Vantor showed two strikes on Natanz’s access points amid US‑Israel attacks launched early Saturday.
- Satellite photos dated March 1 and March 2, 2026, show two structures sustaining visible damage, with analysts reporting three buildings and a vehicle access ramp destroyed at Natanz.
- IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said efforts to contact Iran's nuclear authorities are limited, and Reza Najafi disputed agency claims, saying 'Again they attacked Iran's peaceful, safeguarded nuclear facilities yesterday'.
- The development comes amid a broader campaign in which the US and Israel have expanded targets beyond Natanz, previously damaged in last year's 12-day conflict, with no impact detected at other nuclear sites including Bushehr NPP.
