The Israeli Defense Force launched strikes into the the Iranian region of Isfahan, home to multiple nuclear reactors and enrichment centers, but did not damage the facilities.
Iranian nuclear sites are 'fully safe' and have not been impacted by Israeli strikes, the country's regime says. Israel carried out limited strikes on areas of Iran early Friday in retaliation for Tehran firing a barrage of missiles and drones at Israel last Saturday. The region surrounding the city of Isfahan — home to the country's 'nuclear energy mountain' — was among the areas targeted in the strike.
Isfahan is home to Iran's Uranium Conversion Facility and three research reactors. The country's underground Natanz enrichment site is also in the region. Iranian state media stated following the attack that the nation's atomic sites were 'fully safe' and not struck by the missiles. 'The explosion this morning in the sky of Isfahan was related to the shooting of air defense systems at a suspicious object that did not cause any damage,' Iranian army commander Gen.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, a United Nations affiliate watchdog organization, later confirmed 'there is no damage to Iran’s nuclear sites.' The agency said it 'continues to call for extreme restraint from everybody and reiterates that nuclear facilities should never be a target in military conflicts.
