IAEA confirms US strikes damaged tunnel entrances at Iran nuclear site

The United Nations nuclear watchdog has confirmed that US strikes damaged parts of Iran’s Isfahan nuclear facility, specifically entrances to its underground tunnels.

“We have established that entrances to underground tunnels at the site were impacted,” the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a statement on Sunday.

Prior to Israel’s 13 June assault on Iran’s nuclear sites, officials had indicated that much of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium was being stored in fortified underground sections of the Isfahan complex.
