UN Nuclear – (Web Desk) – The UN’s nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, confirmed on Sunday that Iran’s heavy water facility in Khondab has been shut down following a strike by the Israeli military.

Israel carried out the attack on Friday, targeting the plant located in Arak, in central Iran. The Israeli military described the site as a crucial location used for producing plutonium — a material that can be used in the making of nuclear weapons.

On Sunday, IAEA said based on an independent analysis of satellite imagery the heavy water production plant at Khondab, which Iran reported had been attacked on 27 March, had “sustained severe damaged (sic) and is no longer operational”.
