“The strike targeted the component intended for plutonium production, in order to prevent the reactor from being restored and used for nuclear weapons development,” the IDF announced.
Euronews reported that the electrical infrastructure at Natanz’s underground facility was “completely destroyed.” This included significant damage to the site’s backup power plants and an important smaller near-surface facility. However, there was no reported damage to Iran’s all-important Fordow bunker facility.
