Iran has informed the International Atomic Energy Agency that the Natanz nuclear enrichment site was attacked on Saturday, the agency said in a post on X.


No increase in off-site radiation levels was reported, the United Nations nuclear watchdog said, adding that it is looking into the report.


Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry condemned an attack on Iran's Natanz enrichment facility.


"This is a blatant violation of international law," the ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.
