Ukraine plans to cooperate with the IAEA to promote this project.
IAEA Head rejects Iran's accusations that the report on nuclear violations justifies Israel's strikes.
IAEA reported damage to a heavy water research reactor in Iran, which was under construction. The facility was not operational and did not contain nuclear material, so there was no radiation threat.
The IAEA cannot confirm the location of 409 kg of uranium, enriched to near weapons-grade, due to fighting. Inspections have been suspended, and the exact location of the material is unknown.
Iran has launched over 400 ballistic missiles and about 1,000 drones at Israel since the start of the conflict. 24 people were killed, 500 injured.
The IAEA has confirmation of strikes on two Iranian centrifuge production facilities, which were previously under the agency's monitoring. It is noted that the TESA workshop in Karaj and the Tehran Research Center were hit.
The Israeli attack on the uranium enrichment facility in Iran may have damaged centrifuges due to power outages. Four buildings were damaged at the nuclear facility in Isfahan.
The EU is preparing for a complete rejection of fossil fuel imports from Russia, but plans regarding uranium are being postponed for now. Sanctions are in effect, however, the EU is still dependent on Russian nuclear technologies.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said that no additional damage was detected at Iran's enrichment facilities after the Israeli strikes. Inspections will continue as soon as the security situation allows.
Maxar satellite images showed the aftermath of Israel's strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in Natanz and Isfahan. The plant where Iran was enriching uranium was destroyed.
The President of Ukraine announced Russia's plans for further attacks on energy infrastructure, especially on nuclear generation. Intelligence data from partners has been transferred to the IAEA and the United States.
The EU calls on parties to respect international law and diplomacy following Israeli strikes on Iran. The organization is concerned about the threat of escalation and nuclear weapons.
Four buildings at the nuclear facility in Isfahan were damaged in the Israeli strike on June 13. Among the damaged facilities are uranium conversion and fuel plate production plants.
Iran's Supreme Leader said Tehran would give Israel a devastating response to recent strikes. Khamenei vowed that Iran would not limit itself to "half-measures".
The radiation background at the Iranian facility in Natanz remains stable following reports of an attack. The IAEA confirms that there is no increase in radiation levels in the area.
The Israeli military reported an airstrike on an Iranian uranium enrichment center in the Natanz area. As a result of the operation, the underground sector of the complex was damaged.
Following Israeli strikes, the IAEA reported that the Bushehr nuclear power plant was not affected, and radiation levels did not increase at the facility in Natanz. The nuclear facility in Isfahan and the plant in Fordow were also unaffected.
The Trump administration is trying to distance the US from Israeli strikes on Iran. These actions could complicate the nuclear deal with Tehran that Trump is seeking to reach.
The IAEA Board of Governors stated that the restart of the ZNPP reactors is possible only after the station is returned to the control of the Ukrainian regulator. Any attempts to launch power units are a threat.
Iran has announced the creation of a new uranium enrichment center, increasing tensions with the US and Israel. This was in response to IAEA criticism of Tehran's nuclear commitments.
Ukraine and the IAEA agreed that until nuclear safety standards are met, the launch of the Zaporizhzhia NPP is impossible. Halushchenko and Grossi discussed the development of nuclear energy.
Iran's intelligence minister said his agency had obtained important documents about Israel's nuclear program. This may increase tensions amid the IAEA vote on the nuclear deal with Iran.
IAEA representatives recorded at least five explosions near the ZNPP. Each of them was preceded by shooting, presumably at drones that attacked the training center.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi. The main attention was paid to the situation at the ZNPP and the safety of the Chernobyl NPP, and cooperation projects were also discussed.
Andriy Sybiha discussed with Rafael Grossi the functioning of the Zaporizhzhia NPP and the important role of the IAEA. Ukraine insists on returning the Zaporizhzhia NPP under its control in accordance with international standards.
The Minister of Energy stressed the importance of returning the ZNPP to Ukrainian control. Only a licensed operator can ensure the safety of the facility by adhering to standards.
Launching the ZNPP will be a difficult task for Ukraine due to the occupation and degradation of equipment. Ukraine will cooperate with the IAEA to ensure safe conditions.
Rafael Grossi stated that political negotiations are necessary to stabilize the situation at the Zaporizhzhia NPP. They should lead to a reduction in military presence and a cessation of hostilities.
The head of the IAEA said that he does not agree with the Greenpeace report on the Russian preparations to launch the ZNPP. He added that the main thing for the IAEA is to comply with safety conditions.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated about the instability of the situation with the power supply to the ZNPP. The station depends on a single 750 kV line for cooling nuclear fuel.
