Iran’s Natanz facility for uranium enrichment was hit by Israeli airstrikes targeting the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program early Friday, with Israeli defense officials assessing the damage was significant.
According to the military, the Israeli Air Force strikes destroyed the underground section of the site, which housed “a multi-level enrichment hall housing centrifuges, electrical rooms, and other supporting infrastructure.”
The strikes also destroyed “critical infrastructure enabling the site’s continued operation and advancement of the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons project.”
Natanz is Iran’s largest uranium enrichment site, which the IDF says has been “working toward the development of nuclear weapons” for years, and “contains the infrastructure required for enrichment to a military-grade level.”
