Jerusalem: Israel announced it targeted entrance points to the Fordow nuclear-enrichment site on Monday, following an attack by the United States over the previous weekend. The Israeli forces stated that the strikes aimed to obstruct access to the facility.
According to National News Agency - Lebanon, the head of the United Nations atomic energy agency, Rafael Grossi, commented on the situation, noting that the U.S. strikes likely caused "very significant damage" to the site. However, he emphasized that it remains too early to provide a comprehensive assessment of the damage.
The actions by Israel came on the heels of the American military operation, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear activities. The Fordow facility, known for its uranium enrichment capabilities, has been a focal point of international scrutiny and diplomatic negotiations.
