The US and Israel struck the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in Iran on Saturday, Iranian media and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran claimed.

On Friday, US President Donald Trump asserted in a post to Truth Social that "we are getting very close to meeting our objectives" in the war with Iran. Among those objectives the president listed was "never allowing Iran to get even close to nuclear capability."

The AEOI, which said that no radioactive leakage was subsequently detected in the area, is the government body that runs and oversees the country’s nuclear installations. Additionally, no casualties were reported in the alleged incident.

According to the AEOI, the strike targeted the Shahid Ahmadi-Roshan Enrichment Complex in Natanz. "This is an action in violation of international law," the organization claimed.


"Technical assessments indicate that no radioactive material leakage has occurred and there is no danger to residents of the surrounding areas," the statement added.

The IDF told The Jerusalem Post that it was not aware of an Israeli strike targeting Natanz.

During its latest wave of attacks against Iranian assets in Tehran, an IDF aircraft was targeted by surface-to-air missiles. "The crew acted in accordance with operational procedures. No damage was caused to the aircraft, and the mission was completed as planned," the military added.

A previous strike against the complex was reported on March 2, during the first days of the operations against the Islamic Republic, according to Iran's ambassador to the UN nuclear watchdog.

"Again they attacked Iran's peaceful, safeguarded nuclear facilities yesterday," Reza Najafi told reporters at a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency's 35-nation board of governors.

High-resolution satellite imagery of Iran’s largest and most crucial remaining nuclear facility showed that the regime rushed to protect it from potential US or Israeli aerial attack on February 12, according to the Institute for Science and International Security.

The nuclear facility in question is a large tunnel complex at Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La, also known as Pickaxe Mountain. It is near a series of Natanz nuclear facilities that were the center of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program until the 12-day war between Israel and Iran last June.

Most of the other numerous Natanz facilities, including existing centrifuges at the time, were destroyed during that conflict. For reasons that have not been fully explained, this facility was not struck.

I thought trump told us the facility was...how did he put it again..."completely and totally obliterated"

I guess that was just his usual lies and propaganda specially prepared for his terrorist sympathizers. He knows his sympathizers can't sit-down and think critically. They like to gulp up every single propaganda with happiness and joy and regurgitate them when the need be.

Their predicament is indeed very sad.
