The head of Iran’s atomic agency told state media that Israels attack completely destroyed the Natanz nuclear facility, the site was used for uranium enrichment.

On Friday Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Israel they are facing a “severe punishment.”

The Ayatollah said Israel has “opened its wicked and blood-stained hand to a crime in our beloved country, revealing its malicious nature more than ever by striking residential centers.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency said they are “closely monitoring the deeply concerning situation in Iran.”

The British Foreign Secretary David Lammy wrote on X, “Stability in the Middle East is vital for global security.

“I’m concerned to see reports of strikes overnight. Further escalation is a serious threat to peace & stability in the region and in no one’s interest.

“This is a dangerous moment & I urge all parties to show restraint.”

Sir Keir Starmer is urging “all parties to step back and reduce tensions urgently,” adding, “now is the time for restraint, calm and a return to diplomacy.”
