Tehran: The Institute for Science and International Security has disclosed that commercial satellite imagery has captured possible evidence of an attack on an Iranian nuclear facility, following US and Israeli airstrikes that began last Saturday.

According to Thai News Agency, the imagery, provided by Colorado-based Vantor, shows signs of two assaults at the entrance to the underground uranium enrichment plant in Natanz. This facility was previously attacked by the United States in June of last year. David Albright, a former UN nuclear inspector and founder of the institute, indicated that the satellite images suggest the attack likely took place between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning local time. However, Albright could not conclusively determine whether the United States or Israel conducted the attack on the Natanz facility, a critical site in Iran's nuclear program.

Albright also noted that the initial discovery of the satellite images was made by Ben Tison Macales, an Israeli geospatial analyst. This finding seems to corroborate earlier statements by Reza Najafi, Iran's representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), who claimed the Natanz plant was attacked on Sunday. This assertion contradicts comments by IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi, who stated there was no evidence of an attack on a nuclear facility.
