Iran says nuclear facility hit by airstrike

Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment facility was struck by an airstrike, according to the Iranian news agency Mizan on Saturday. The facility is a critical component of Iran's nuclear program and a frequent target of international concern over uranium enrichment activities. The strike marks a significant escalation as the regional conflict enters its fourth week, raising immediate questions about the extent of damage and potential disruption to Iran's nuclear operations. No initial claims of responsibility were reported in the available information, though airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites have historically been attributed to Israel. The attack underscores the broadening scope of the conflict beyond conventional military targets.
