Iranian authorities have confirmed that the United States and Israel have launched an attack against the Shahid Ahmadi Roshan uranium enrichment center in the central province of Natanz, with no evidence of a leak of radioactive material.
“There is no evidence of any leak of radioactive materials in this complex and there is no danger to the residents of the surrounding areas,” the National Nuclear Security System Center reported in a statement collected by the semi-official Iranian agency Tasnim.
Iranian authorities have protested against an attack “contrary to international laws and obligations, including the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and other regulations related to nuclear security.”
It is not the first time that the plant has been hit during the joint attacks that began on February 28 against Iran: three days later, the UN nuclear agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), confirmed damage in a bombardment against the facilities without any evidence of “radiological consequences.”
However, at that time the fuel enrichment plant (FEP) was not hit as happened this Saturday and it must also be remembered that the plant was already one of the objectives of the joint operation launched by the US and Israel last summer and that hit the Islamic republic for twelve days.
