Israel intercepting new wave of Iranian missiles
US-Israeli airstrikes targets Iran’s enrichment facility

Mar 02 (Net): Israel military reports on Monday said that new wave of missiles from Iran towards Israel has been lunched and it defense systems are trying to eliminate them. The public in Israel is asked to act according to the government instruction of safety.
Iran’s IRGC said that the 11th wave of Iranian missiles and drones targeted Israel’s Bir as-Sab City, Tas-nim news agency said. The report claimed that the Israeli army’s communications industries complex was hit in the city. Iran also bombed the scientific complex in the city, where houses major international companies including Microsoft. Iran is on hurting the United States in the way that can hurt many in the region as well. Iran also claimed of crushing several US fighter jets in the Gulf region.
Iran’s Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency on Monday alleged that airstrikes by the United States and Israel targeted the Natanz enrichment facility in his country.
That contradicts an assessment by the U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi who said that “up to now” the agency has “no indication” that nuclear facilities have been hit in Iran.
“Again they attacked Iran’s peaceful safeguarded nuclear facilities yesterday. Their justification that Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons is simply a big lie,” Reza Najafi told reporters at the IAEA headquar-ters in Vienna, where a special session of the Board of Governors is being held at the request of Russia.
When asked by a reporter which nuclear facility he was referring to, Najafi replied “Natanz.”
The Natanz site, some 220 kilometers (135 miles) south of the capital, is a mix of above- and below-ground laboratories that did the majority of Iran’s uranium enrichment.
Before the war, the IAEA said Iran used advanced centrifuges there to enrich uranium up to 60% — a short, technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%. Some of the material is presumed to have been onsite when the entire complex was attacked last June.
The main above-ground enrichment building at Natanz was known as the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant. Israel hit the building June 13, leaving it “functionally destroyed,” and seriously damaging underground halls holding cascades of centrifuges, the IAEA’s director-general, Rafael Grossi, said at the time. A U.S. follow-up attack on June 22 hit Natanz’s underground facilities with bunker-busting bombs, likely decimating what remained.
IAEA says “up to now” no nuclear installations hit in Iran
Addressing the special session of the Board of Governors, IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi said that “up to now” the International Atomic Energy Agency has “no indication that any of the nuclear installa-tions, including the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, the Tehran Research Reactor or other nuclear fuel cycle facilities” in Iran have been damaged or hit.
He added that the IAEA continues to try to contact the Iranian nuclear regulatory authorities via the IAEA’s own Incident and Emergency Center “with no response so far,” given the limitations in commu-nications caused by the conflict.
