PrimeHeadlines.com | June 14, 2025 — The United Nations nuclear watchdog has confirmed that Israel’s recent airstrikes have destroyed Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, marking a dramatic escalation in the Middle East crisis.
The Natanz plant, a critical component of Iran’s nuclear program, suffered severe structural and electrical damage, including to the power infrastructure that supports key centrifuges. While radiation levels remain stable, experts believe the attack has likely dealt a major blow to Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities.
UN officials also reported unconfirmed but credible strikes on Iran’s Fordow and Isfahan nuclear sites, although details from those locations remain limited due to communication blackouts and access restrictions.
The attacks come amid rising tensions over Iran’s rapid stockpiling of enriched uranium and mounting concerns that Tehran was days away from achieving nuclear breakout capacity. Israel’s Operation “Strength of a Lion” appears aimed at dismantling Iran’s weapons-grade capabilities preemptively.
Iran has not yet officially responded, but military alerts remain high across the region, and international observers warn that retaliation from Tehran is expected.
