  Attacks on nuclear sites in the Islamic Republic of Iran have caused a sharp degradation in nuclear safety and security in Iran. Though they have not so far led to a radiological release affecting the public, there is a danger this could occur . The International Atomic Energy Agency has been monitoring closely the situation at Iran’s nuclear sites since Israel began its attacks a week ago. As part of its mission, the IAEA is the global nerve centre for information on nuclear and radiological safety, and we can respond to any nuclear or radiological emergency. Based on information available to the IAEA , the following is the current situation at Iran’s nuclear sites. Which I offer as a follow up to my most recent report to this Security Council. The Natanz enrichment site contains two facilities . The first is the main Fuel Enrichment Plant . Initial attacks on the 13th of June targeted and destroyed electricity infrastructure at the facility, including an electrical sub-station ...
