New satellite images suggest Israeli strikes damaged underground uranium-enrichment facilities at Iran’s primary nuclear-fuel production site, according to the United Nations nuclear watchdog.

The International Atomic Energy Agency wrote Tuesday on X that it “has identified additional elements that indicate direct impacts on the underground enrichment halls.” It’s the first independent confirmation of Israeli claims that it took out the site, which it targeted in the opening hours of the conflict, now in its fifth day.
