Iran constructs fortified underground facility near Natanz enrichment site
NYT World·IR·1 day ago
Iranian authorities report a new attack on the Natanz nuclear site, marking the second such incident since March. The nature of the attack and the extent of damage remain unverified, though the event suggests a persistent vulnerability in Iran's critical nuclear infrastructure.
The US-Iran conflict has escalated significantly, marked by US presidential threats against Iranian civilian infrastructure following American casualties and a Strait of Hormuz blockade. Concurrently, an aerial campaign targeting Iranian infrastructure has persisted for 12 days, with unverified reports of direct US missile strikes within Iranian territory. Iran's IRGC has threatened retaliatory strikes on US allies' energy infrastructure.
