Iran’s Natanz nuclear plant has been attacked once again on Saturday morning. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran has called the incident a criminal attack and has directly held America and Israel responsible for it. Officials say this attack is a flagrant violation of international rules and security standards. At present, tension has increased in the area and the situation is being monitored.
Has the Natanz nuclear facility suffered any major damage?
Iran’s National Nuclear Safety Center has said after initial investigation that this attack has not caused any major damage. The most reassuring thing is that there has been no leakage of any radioactive material from the plant. The nuclear complex is still fully operational and tight security arrangements have been made. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has also confirmed that no increase in radiation levels has been observed and they are investigating the matter.
What was the international reaction after the attack?
The statements of Israel and America after this attack have increased the concern. Israel’s Defense Minister has clearly said that the intensity of the attacks will be increased from Sunday. On the other hand, US President Donald Trump has talked about reducing the army, but additional warships and soldiers are also being sent to the region. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke to the President of Iran on this issue and strongly condemned the attacks on critical infrastructure.
