Iran's Natanz nuclear facility targeted again in US-Israeli attack
It was previously struck during the opening week of the conflict, when satellite imagery indicated damage to multiple structures
The US and Israel launched an attack on the Natanz uranium-enrichment facility this morning (21 March), Iran's Tasnim news agency said.
"No leakage of radioactive materials has been reported in this complex and no danger threatens the residents of the areas surrounding this site", Tasnim added.
It was previously struck during the opening week of the conflict, when satellite imagery indicated damage to multiple structures, reports Al Jazeera.

According to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, the Shahid Ahmadi Roshan enrichment facility was hit in what it described as "criminal attacks" carried out by the United States and Israel.
The organisation further stated that today's strike breached international laws, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, along with other frameworks governing nuclear safety.
Located about 220km southeast of Tehran, the site had already been targeted during the 12-day confrontation between Iran and Israel in June 2025, when Israeli air strikes were followed by further action from the United States.
The conflict, now entering its third week, shows little indication of easing.
Israel reported that Iran launched additional missile attacks early today, while Saudi Arabia said it intercepted 20 drones within a few hours over its Eastern Region, an area that hosts key oil infrastructure.
