Iran’s Ministry of Oil confirmed on Friday that the Israeli aggression caused no damage to the country’s vital energy infrastructure, including refineries and oil storage facilities, all of which remain fully functional.
“The Israeli attacks caused no damage to refineries or key oil depots, which are continuing operations across the country without obstruction,” the ministry stated in its official announcement.
It further emphasized that “refining facilities and fuel distribution remain uninterrupted nationwide,” underscoring the resilience and preparedness of Iran’s energy sector amid the Israeli aggression.
"Israel" launched a major attack on Iran in the early hours of Friday, targeting residential buildings, nuclear facilities, and military infrastructure across Iran.
The Israeli aggression came two days before a new round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US.
IAEA confirms Natanz among targets but reports no radiation leak in Iran
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced Friday that Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant remains unharmed and that no increase in radiation has been detected at the Natanz nuclear site, despite the massive Israeli aggression on Iran.
“Iranian authorities have informed the IAEA that the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant has not been targeted and that no increase in radiation levels has been observed at the Natanz site,” said IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi in a post on X.

Grossi confirmed that the Natanz facility was among the sites targeted in Friday's Israeli aggression, which struck several provinces, including those housing critical nuclear infrastructure.
“The IAEA is closely monitoring the deeply concerning situation in Iran. The Agency can confirm Natanz site among targets. The Agency is in contact with Iranian authorities regarding radiation levels. We are also in contact with our inspectors in the country,” Grossi added.
Isfahan, Fordow nuclear sites not impacted
In a related development, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran’s nuclear facility in Isfahan was not affected by the Israeli aggression.
“Further contacts with Iranian authorities confirm that the Isfahan nuclear site has not been impacted,” the agency added in a brief statement.
It also emphasized that Iran’s Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant has not been affected by the recent Israeli aggression.
“As of now, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant has not been impacted,” the agency added.
It is worth noting that Iranian media outlets on Thursday published a series of documents that reveal covert coordination between IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi and "Israel", a collaboration Iranian officials say was designed to politicize the agency’s oversight of Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.
