The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has officially confirmed that Israeli airstrikes carried out on Friday caused damage to key structures at Iran's Khondab Heavy Water Production Plant—previously known as the Arak facility. Among the affected areas was the plant's critical distillation unit, the nuclear watchdog revealed in its latest post on X. This acknowledgement marks a shift from the IAEA's earlier statement, issued just a day earlier, in which it reported that no visible damage had been initially detected.
