A spokesperson for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEO) said Friday that nuclear contamination was found at the Natanz facility—Iran’s largest nuclear site in central Isfahan—after an Israeli missile strike.
Behrouz Kamalvandi, speaking to Iran’s state television, said Israel fired missiles at the Natanz facility several times to reach deep underground.
"Some contamination was detected inside the facility, but this contamination did not spread outside the facility,” Kamalvandi clarified.
The nuclear contamination in question is not alarming, he added.
Separately, the chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) assured that radiation levels outside the facility remained unchanged.
