Israel's airstrike on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility has triggered radioactive and chemical contamination, the IAEA informed the UN Security Council. While underground enrichment facilities remain intact, the attack caused internal contamination and power outages, potentially affecting centrifuge operations. The Israeli operation, codenamed Rising Lion, involved 200 fighter jets and resulted in the deaths of senior Iranian officials, escalating tensions between the two nations. In retaliation, Iran launched missile strikes on northern Israel and the Golan Heights, raising global concerns over further escalation.
