The United Nations nuclear watchdog has confirmed that the Khondab heavy water complex in northwest Iran has suffered "severe damage and is no longer operational" following an Israeli attack this week.
Iran's Atomic Energy Organization said on Friday that the nuclear facility had been attacked twice. Verified footage at the time showed a ball of fire and smoke rising near the reactor inside the facility.
The organization said no casualties or contamination had been reported. Israel had issued an evacuation order for the entire facility shortly before the attack.
In its update today following independent analysis of satellite imagery "and knowledge of the installation," the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) notes that the facility contains no declared nuclear material.
