Iran’s sprawling nuclear facility at Natanz was struck during US and Israeli military operations against the Islamic Republic, Iran’s ambassador to the UN nuclear watchdog said, Reuters reports.

“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.

Asked by Reuters which facilities were hit, he replied: “Natanz.”
