Iran Alleges US-Israel Natanz Airstrikes

Iran's Ambassador to the International — International Atomic Energy Agency, Reza Najafi, alleged that airstrikes by the United States and Israel targeted the Natanz enrichment facility. This claim contradicts the assessment of International — International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi, who stated that the agency has no indication of nuclear facilities being hit in Iran. The Natanz site, crucial for Iran's uranium enrichment, was previously attacked in June, with Israel hitting the above-ground building and the United States following up with attacks on underground facilities. The ongoing conflict has seen Iranian and Iranian-backed militias firing missiles at Israel and Arab states, including a strike on the US Embassy compound in Kuwait, while Israel and the United States have conducted retaliatory airstrikes inside Iran. The Iranian Red Crescent Society reported 555 deaths in Iran due to the US-Israeli campaign, with 11 fatalities reported on the Israeli side. Regional incidents include a pro-Iranian militia claiming responsibility for a drone attack on US forces in Iraq and a drone strike targeting a British base on Cyprus. Reza Najafi condemned the strikes as 'unlawful, criminal and brutal' and called for international condemnation, also criticizing former US President Donald Trump for allegedly launching the war.
