The director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA), Rafael Grossi, also expressed concern about the risk of expanding the conflict and requested “maximum moderation”.

Grossi stated that bombing caused visible damage to Fordow facilities, the main 60% uranium enrichment center in Iran, indicating the use of piercing ammunition for the US.
