US EditionU.N. Nuclear Agency Warns of Possible Contamination at Iran's Natanz Site
- On June 16, 2025, IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi addressed an urgent session in Vienna convened by Russia to discuss Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
- The attacks damaged multiple buildings at Natanz and four installations in Isfahan, including a uranium-conversion facility, although the underground centrifuge areas and Fordo site were spared.
- Satellite images showed extensive above-ground damage at Natanz, power outages possibly harmed vital equipment, and the main hazard identified was chemical toxicity from uranium hexafluoride gas inside the facility.
- Grossi reported radiation levels outside the facilities remain normal with no evidence of contamination spreading, yet he warned military escalation risks radiological release threatening people, environment, and diplomatic efforts.
- IAEA inspectors will stay in Iran, resuming full monitoring when safe, and Grossi stressed the urgent need for timely technical data to assess conditions and provide assistance amid ongoing conflict.
