Israel's strike on Iran causing radioactive contamination—IAEA chief
- On June 14, 2025, the IAEA confirmed that Israel struck Iran's Natanz nuclear fuel enrichment facility, causing internal radioactive and chemical contamination.
- The attack followed rising tensions and came shortly after an IAEA report found Iran non-compliant with nuclear obligations due to undeclared activities since 2019.
- Israeli fighter jets struck the above-ground sections of the Natanz uranium enrichment complex, including its power supply infrastructure, while Iranian officials reported that the damage was mostly limited to surface areas with no harm to underground facilities or personnel.
- IAEA chief Grossi stated that radiation levels outside Natanz remained unchanged, but contamination inside requires proper protective measures, and centrifuge damage released low-level radiation and chemicals without risk of explosion.
- The strike escalates Iran-Israel conflict risks, intensifies global concerns about nuclear security, and highlights ongoing surveillance challenges of Iran’s nuclear sites amid missile exchanges.
