No sign Iran's nuclear sites were hit, IAEA says, but Iran alleges one was

IAEA reports no damage to Iran's nuclear sites, while Iran claims its Natanz facility was attacked amidst ongoing tensions.

 The U.N. nuclear ​watchdog has no indication Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iran ‌have hit any nuclear facilities, its chief Rafael ​Grossi told the agency’s Board of Governors ⁠on Monday (March 2, 2026), moments before Iran’s envoy said one was targeted a day earlier.

Iran’s nuclear programme has been among the ‌reasons Israel and the U.S. have given for the attacks, alleging Iran was getting too close ‌to being able to eventually make an ‌atom ⁠bomb.

At the same time, what remains ⁠of Iran’s atomic facilities after the two militaries attacked them in June appears to have been largely spared in this campaign so ​far.

“We have no indication ‌that any of the nuclear installations ... have been damaged or hit,” International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi said in a statement to a ‌meeting of his agency’s 35-nation Board of Governors.

What ​that assessment was based on is unclear, since he also said his agency had ⁠not been able to reach its counterparts in Iran. Tehran has not let the IAEA return to ‌its bombed facilities since they were attacked in June.
