IAEA chief Rafael Grossi informed the United Nations Security Council that while the attack destroyed above-ground structures at the Natanz facility, there was no indication of damage to the underground enrichment systems.He noted that, although radiation levels outside the facility remained stable, internal contamination was detected, which could be managed safely. This strike follows an IAEA report indicating that Iran has not complied with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-assisting-israel-in-shooting-down-iranian-missiles-2\/\" title=\"US assisting Israel in shooting down ...ian missiles\">nuclear nonproliferation commitments<\/a>, as the agency discovered secret nuclear activities within the country. Grossi highlighted that Iran&#8217;s failure to cooperate with the IAEA&#8217;s investigations constitutes a breach of its obligations under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-has-now-signed-52-executive-orders-and-actions-in-first-20-days-in-office\/\" title=\"Biden Has Now Signed 52 Executive Orders And Actions In First 20 Days In Office\">international agreements<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facility caused &lsquo;radioactive and chemical contamination&rsquo;: IAEA<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2147937\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>International Atomic Energy Agency&rsquo;s chief Rafael Grossi said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Israel<\/a>&rsquo;s Thursday strike on an Iranian nuclear facility caused radioactive contamination.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Israel destroyed the above-ground part of the Natanz nuclear facility.
