Iran's Nuclear Underground Facility in Natanz Damage, Confirms IAEA

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Tuesday, March 3, confirmed damage to nuclear facilities in Iran's Natanz region. The international nuclear watchdog said it has reviewed satellite imagery and seen some damage to the entrance of the buildings holding the underground portion of the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP).

However, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said “no radiological consequence expected” from it, though damage to the facilities underground after the US-Israel continue to pound missiles and airstrikes at the region. Natanz earlier faced several attacks by the US in 12-days period between Iran and Israel in June 2025.

Satellite images shared by Vantor show two structural damages on entrance points to the underground facility in Natanz, according to the ISIS analysis carried by Reuters. The development comes a day after the US and Israel had struck the Natanz nuclear facility, but International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi said there was no indication so far that any nuclear facility in Iran had been damaged or hit in the ongoing war.
