Rafael Grossi, the director general of the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said the centrifuges at Fordow, one of Iran’s most important nuclear enrichment facilities, are “no longer operational” following US strikes.
“On the basis of satellite images, we can deduct quite precise conclusions on the consequences of the bombing,” Grossi told French radio station Radio France Internationale Thursday.
“I know the plant very well, it’s a network of tunnels with different types of activity,” Grossi said. “What we saw on the pictures corresponds more or less to the enrichment hall, that’s what’s been hit.”
Iran’s parliament on Wednesday voted to suspend cooperation with IAEA, according to state media.
In a televised interview Wednesday, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson told Al Jazeera that the country’s nuclear installations were “badly damaged” after “repeated attacks” by Israel and the US.
