Iranian officials say there was an “incident” at the Natanz uranium enrichment plant today. Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), said a "shed [under construction] outside of the facility was damaged” in the incident. He said there was no loss of life, “no harm in the activities” at Natanz and no need for concern, adding that experts are reviewing the incident.
Local officials described the incident as a fire. Fabian Hinz of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies tweeted that the pictures shared from the AEOI indicate the fire was at Natanz’s new centrifuge assembly workshop.
