On July 2, local time, a fire broke out in a plant under construction at the Iranian Natanz nuclear facility.
The Iranian side stated that the damaged plant was originally used to produce centrifuges, and the accident caused damage to some precision instruments in the plant.
The Natanz nuclear facility is located in central Iran and is built underground, covering an area of 100,000 square meters. It is one of several Iranian nuclear facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
As a countermeasure to the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the Iran nuclear agreement, since May 2019, after Iran suspended the implementation of certain provisions of the Iran nuclear agreement in stages, the Natanz nuclear facility became the core facility of its uranium enrichment program.
