Iran's Mizan news agency said an airstrike hit the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility with no radiation leakage, and the IAEA said Iran reported no increase in off-site radiation. Israel's military said it was not responsible, and the Pentagon declined to comment.
Why it matters
Tehran cited the Natanz strike hours later when it fired missiles at Dimona, home to Israel's main nuclear research center.
