Iran's Heavy Water Production Plant No Longer Operational, IAEA Says
The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed the plant’s severe damage and shutdown after an Israeli strike aimed at halting Iran's plutonium production capabilities.
- On Sunday, the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed the Khondab Heavy Water Plant sustained "severe damage" following an Israeli strike on Friday and is "no longer operational."
- The Israel Defense Forces targeted the facility as part of an operation referred to as "Rising Lion," describing it as a key plutonium-production component despite international agreements.
- Part of the Arak Nuclear Complex, the facility was previously targeted during last June's 12-day war; Israel alleged Iran continued reconstruction efforts despite the 2015 nuclear deal rendering the reactor inoperable.
- Iran's atomic energy organization reported the strikes caused no casualties or radioactive leaks, while Tehran maintains its nuclear program remains strictly for civilian purposes.
- Beyond Khondab, Israel also struck a uranium extraction plant in Yazd on Friday, reflecting its policy of preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons capabilities amid heightened regional tensions.
