International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director Rafael Grossi warned of “serious” damage to Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment facility after recent US airstrikes, citing the sensitivity of centrifuges to shock and vibration.
In an emergency board meeting, Grossi said multiple structures tied to uranium processing at Isfahan and Natanz were also hit. He stressed that no full assessment of underground damage is yet possible.
Grossi condemned attacks on nuclear facilities as a global risk, urging restraint and a return to diplomacy. “We must resume negotiations to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons,” he said, expressing readiness to visit Iran.
He also confirmed Iran’s notification of new protective measures for nuclear materials, emphasizing they must comply with international safeguards.
