Natanz: Satellite images have provided evidence of an attack on an Iranian nuclear site for the first time since the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes began last Saturday. The Institute for Science and International Security disclosed on Monday that commercial satellite imagery has captured what appears to be an assault on the site.

According to Thai News Agency, photographs from the Colorado-based company Vantor show signs of two attacks at the entrance to the underground uranium enrichment plant in Natanz. This facility was previously targeted by the United States in June of the previous year. David Albright, a former UN nuclear inspector and founder of the institute, noted that the satellite imagery review suggests the attack likely occurred between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning local time. However, Albright could not confirm whether it was the United States or Israel responsible for the strike on the Natanz facilities, a key site in Iran's nuclear program.

Albright further mentioned that Ben Tison Macales, an Israeli geospatial analyst, was the first to discover the satellite images indicating the attack on Natanz. This discovery appears to support earlier claims by Reza Najafi, Iran's representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), who asserted that the plant was attacked on Sunday. This stands in contrast to the statements of IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi, who had previously claimed there was no indication of an attack on a nuclear facility.
