Two buildings near an Iranian nuclear site in Isfahan have been damaged, but no facilities containing nuclear material were affected and there is currently no radiation risk, the UN’s nuclear watchdog said on Wednesday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a post on X that none of the damaged buildings housed nuclear material.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi renewed his call on the parties at war in the Middle East to exercise “maximum restraint to help avoid any danger of radiological incident.”

The agency believes that highly enriched uranium is stored underground in Isfahan, according to its latest report on Iran released last week.
Uranium can be used as fuel for nuclear reactors or further processed for nuclear weapons, though Tehran denies developing such weapons.
On Tuesday, the IAEA confirmed new damage to entrance buildings at the underground uranium enrichment facility in Natanz.
The United States and Israel bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities in June 2025, causing extensive damage. Both countries have said that nuclear sites would be targets in the latest military campaign that began on Saturday.
