No radiation consequences from Israeli strike on Isfahan facility
In a statement issued by IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi, the agency said that the site in question was a centrifuge production workshop in Isfahan, the third such facility to be targeted in Israeli attacks on locations associated with Iran's nuclear programme.
Grossi said, 'We know this facility well. There were no nuclear materials at the site, and therefore, the attack has not resulted in any radiological consequences.'
Earlier in the day, the Israeli military confirmed that it had struck an Iranian nuclear research facility overnight.
Meanwhile, Akbar Salehi, Deputy Security Chief of Isfahan Province, said the Israeli strikes caused damage to the facility but did not result in any casualties.

"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."In his brief speech, Trump said Iran's future held "either peace or tragedy," and that there were many other targets that could be hit by the US military."If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill."Trump said US forces struck Iran's three principal nuclear sites: Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow. He told Fox News six bunker-buster bombs were dropped on Fordow, while 30 Tomahawk missiles were fired against other nuclear sites.
