The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has disclosed that Iran's Khondab heavy water research reactor was struck amid ongoing Israeli offensives targeting the nation's nuclear program.
Fortunately, the reactor was non-operational and devoid of nuclear materials, thereby eliminating any immediate radiological risk. This development underscores rising tensions in the region.
The agency assures it has yet to receive additional information indicating further damage to the Khondab facility and remains vigilant in its oversight.
