IAEA Chief Grossi: Iranian Nuclear Facilities Sustained Significant Damage, But Not 'Annihilated'

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi has confirmed that Iranian nuclear facilities sustained significant damage following recent US-Israeli strikes. Speaking on the matter, Grossi stated that while the damage was substantial, describing it as 'total destruction' would be an exaggeration. He highlighted that three key sites—Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow—which are central to Iran's uranium enrichment and conversion activities, experienced 'enormous physical damage.' However, Grossi also noted that other nuclear sites within Iran were not affected by the strikes. This statement provides a crucial update on the status of Iran's nuclear infrastructure from an authoritative international body.
