Israel Destroyed Aboveground Portion of Iran’s Main Nuclear Facility, UN Nuclear Chief Says
- On June 13, 2025, Israeli forces destroyed the above-ground portion of Iran's main nuclear facility at Natanz during coordinated airstrikes across Iran.
- The strikes followed renewed tensions including an IAEA censure of Iran for noncompliance and Iran's escalation after Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
- Israel targeted nuclear and missile facilities, killing three top Iranian generals, and Iran retaliated with ballistic missiles and drone attacks on Israel.
- IAEA chief Rafael Grossi confirmed the Natanz plant's surface-level destruction but said radiation levels remained normal, and Israel involved about 200 aircraft attacking 100 targets.
- The attacks signal a prolonged Israeli campaign to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, raising regional instability concerns and complicating diplomacy.
