US EditionIsrael's strike on Iran causing radioactive contamination—IAEA chief
- The IAEA chief Rafael Grossi confirmed that Israel carried out a strike on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility earlier this week causing radioactive and chemical contamination inside the site.
- This attack followed an IAEA report stating Iran was noncompliant with its nuclear obligations due to undeclared nuclear material and activities discovered since 2019.
- Israel destroyed the above-ground Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant at Natanz, where uranium was enriched up to 60% U-235, while external radiation levels remained unchanged and no damage was reported in underground enrichment halls.
- Grossi reported that radiation measurements outside the Natanz facility have stayed consistent and within safe limits, suggesting that any radioactive contamination inside the site can be controlled through proper safety precautions.
- The strike intensified regional tensions as both sides exchanged missiles on Friday causing damage, and the IAEA warned that damage to centrifuges releases low-level radiation and chemicals threatening onsite personnel.
