IAEA discovers new damage to Iranian nuclear facilities before ceasefire announcement

The International Atomic Energy Agency has recorded fresh evidence of strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow and Natanz. The attacks were carried out before today's official announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, according to an official IAEA document.

"In addition to the detailed assessment presented to the IAEA Board of Governors on Monday, the agency has also recorded new impact points at nuclear facilities in Fordow and Natanz as a result of strikes carried out prior to today's statements on the situation in Iran," the message states.

The agency provided additional information about the attack on the Fordow facility, news of which emerged on Monday morning.

"Following the US bombing of the facility on Sunday, the IAEA determined that access roads near the underground facility and one of its entrances were damaged," the IAEA noted.

Regarding Natanz, Agency specialists discovered two penetration points from American strikes in the area of underground chambers previously used for enrichment and material storage.

"Based on information about the contents of these halls, the IAEA believes that the strike could have led to local contamination and chemical risks," the agency warned.
