US EditionIran says its Natanz nuclear facility has been hit in an airstrike
The strike on Natanz is part of a wider US-Israel campaign amid a conflict causing over 1,300 Iranian deaths and soaring oil prices above $106 per barrel.
- Iran's Natanz nuclear facility was hit in an airstrike on Saturday, official news agency Mizan reported, with no radiation leakage from the strike on the enrichment site located nearly 220 kilometers southeast of Tehran.
- Satellite imagery shows structural damage to multiple buildings at the facility, which was previously targeted by Israeli and U.S. airstrikes during the 12-day war in June 2025 as the conflict entered its fourth week.
- President Donald Trump stated on social media, "We are getting very close to meeting our objectives," even as the U.S. deployed three amphibious assault ships and roughly 2,500 additional Marines to the Middle East joining over 50,000 troops already stationed there.
- General Abolfazl Shekarchi, Iran's top military spokesperson, warned Friday that "parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations" worldwide will not be safe for the country's enemies, raising concerns about retaliation extending beyond the Middle East.
- Brent crude oil surged to around $106 per barrel, up from roughly $70 before the war, as the Trump administration paused sanctions on Iranian oil loaded on ships to manage soaring fuel costs amid ongoing supply disruptions.
