Iranian media reported that the Fordow nuclear site had been attacked. However, they asserted: “We evacuated the targeted nuclear sites some time ago,” and “no nuclear radiation is expected, as all enriched uranium had already been moved out.”
The Tasnim news agency quoted Morteza Heydari, spokesperson for the Crisis Management Department in Qom Province, as saying: “A few hours ago, after activating air defenses in Qom and identifying hostile targets, part of the Fordow nuclear site was hit by hostile airstrikes.”
Meanwhile, Fars News Agency reported: “Air defenses in Isfahan and Kashan began operating to intercept hostile targets, and multiple simultaneous explosions were heard.”
Hizam Al-Asad, a political bureau member of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, warned the U.S.: “Washington must bear the consequences.”
