Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization stated that the underground facilities at the Natanz and Fordow enrichment sites, which were attacked by Israel on Friday, were not damaged.
“Fortunately, most installations [in Natanz] are underground and have not been affected,” said Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesperson for the organisation. “A small portion of equipment on the surface was damaged, but this did not cause any contamination.”
At the Fordow site, another underground enrichment facility, there were some “limited damages to certain parts, which technically are not considered serious”. In Isfahan, the attacks caused fires in several warehouses, he added.
“This was anticipated, and as a result, a significant amount of equipment and materials had been relocated beforehand,” Kamalvandi said, adding that there were no human casualties.
