The Israeli military also confirmed it struck a uranium processing site in central Iran’s Yazd on Friday, after the Islamic republic’s atomic energy organisation said US-Israeli strikes hit the facility.
“A short while ago, the Israeli Air Force… struck a uranium extraction plant located in Yazd, central Iran,” the military said in a statement, describing the site as a “unique facility in Iran used for the production of raw materials required for the uranium enrichment process”.
Iran’s atomic energy organisation said the strike on the plant “did not result in the release of any radioactive material.” –Agencies
