Israel attacks Iran's Arak Nuclear Facility

Tasnim News Agency published a written statement issued by the Information Center of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.

The statement, which indicated that Israel carried out an attack on the Arak Heavy Water Nuclear Facility (Shahid Handab Research Reactor) in the morning hours, stated, "There were no casualties or injuries in the attack. Thanks to previously taken security measures, there is no risk or harm to the public living in the area surrounding the facility."

According to Iranian state television, it was also noted that there was no nuclear leak at the facility.
