Nuclear facility in Isfahan seriously damaged after US, Israeli strikes

A nuclear facility in Isfahan Province sustained significant damage on Saturday as a result of strikes carried out by the United States and Israel, ISNA reports.

According to the report, the facility came under a missile attack on March 7, as a result of which it “suffered serious damage.” At the same time, no radiation contamination has been reported so far.

Israel and the United States believe that most of Iran’s nuclear fuel is stored in underground tunnels in Isfahan, while the remaining stockpiles have been distributed among bunkers in Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant and Natanz Nuclear Facility. In the first days of the current conflict, the United States and Israel also struck the entrances to underground tunnels in Isfahan and Fordo in an effort to block them and prevent Iranian authorities from removing the materials stored there.
