Iran denounced another U. S. -Israeli attack on the Natanz uranium enrichment complex this Saturday, with no evidence of a radioactive material leak at this time.
This would be the second such attack since the current conflict began, following a bombing of the site on February 28, during the fourth day of the war. "The Shahid Ahmadi Roshan enrichment complex in Natanz was attacked this morning," reported the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization (OEAI) in a statement picked up by the IRNA agency. "There is no evidence of any radioactive material leak at this complex, and there is no danger to residents in the areas near this site.
" However, on that occasion, the fuel enrichment plant (FEP) was not hit, unlike what occurred this Saturday, and as happened during the 12-day war last June. The Iranian nuclear program is one of the main arguments for the U. S.
-Israeli alliance to attack the Persian country, despite the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) insisting that there is no evidence Iran had a structured plan to build an atomic bomb. Iran described the bombings as "criminal attacks," as reported by Al Jazeera, stating that they violate international laws and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), among other agreements. Iran's nuclear facilities in Isfahan and Fordow were also bombed by Israel and the U.
S. during the "Twelve Days War," shortly after the IAEA had access and verified those uranium reserves in Tehran. The Israeli armed forces, for their part, denied "being aware of an attack," although they did not provide further details on whether the bombing was solely carried out by the United States.
