IAEA urges restraint after reported strike on Iran’s Natanz site

(March 21, 2026, 15:13)

The United Nations’ nuclear watchdog on Saturday urged military restraint after Iran said its Natanz nuclear facility had been targeted by strikes.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said Tehran informed the agency that the site “was attacked today,” though the IAEA reported no increase in off‑site radiation levels.

Natanz is reportedly one of three underground Iranian nuclear sites struck by the United States last June.
