Iran's Natanz nuclear facility was attacked in an airstrike on Saturday morning, according to Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, the second time the nuclear-enrichment site has been a target since the beginning of the war. Iranian officials said they have detected no leak of radioactive material and the residents living nearby are in no danger, the broadcaster added.
In the early days of the war, U.S. and Israeli airstrikes damaged the entrance buildings of Natanz's underground area, where most of the site's enrichment activity took place before last June's U.S. airstrikes, the International Atomic Energy Agency said.
