The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran has officially confirmed the fact of an attack carried out by the United States and Israel on the morning of March 21, targeting the Shahid Ahmad Roshan uranium enrichment complex located in the city of Natanz. This facility is situated approximately 250 kilometers south of Tehran and is used for uranium enrichment via gas centrifugation, where material enriched to levels of up to 60 percent was previously produced. The main part of this complex is located underground at a depth of up to eight meters, a measure taken to protect it from airstrikes.
According to a statement released by the Iranian organization on the social media platform X, a technical assessment determined that no radioactive material leak occurred and that there is no threat to residents of the surrounding areas. Iranian representatives emphasized that the carried-out attack constitutes a gross violation of international law and contradicts the obligations arising from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. This assault once again demonstrates the disregard of Washington and Tel Aviv for international agreements, despite previous statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alleging that Iran had lost its ability to enrich uranium.
