The United States and Israel targeted the Arak nuclear complex on Friday, Iranian state media reported.
Two separate attacks focused on the Khondab heavy water facility. Heavy water or deuterium oxide is used in nuclear research as a solvent for hydrogen. While hits caused structural damage, no deaths or injuries have been reported.
The strikes come amid the US-promised pause on Iranian energy plants as strained negotiations between Washington and Tehran continue, where Iranian nuclear enrichment remains the most important point, together with Hormuz Strait regulation.
