Israel targeted the defense system of the Natanz nuclear facility in
Iran during its strikes Friday morning, ABC quoted a senior American
official as saying.

The Israelis were targeting an air defense radar site near Isfahan
that�s part of the protection of the Natanz nuclear facility," ABC
said, in the name of the official.

"The first assessment is that the strike took out the site, but
assessment hasn�t been completed, the official said."

The official noted, however, that the strike was meant to send a signal
to Iran about Israeli capabilities, but not to escalate the situation.

Iran has downplayed the attack's significance
The attack, which Israel has not claimed credit for, was launched in
response to the aerial barrage of ballistic missiles and attack drones
that Iran sent to Israel last Saturday night following an airstrike in
Damascus, widely attributed to Israel, that killed a senior officer in
Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

The officer was connected to Hezbollah, the Iranian proxy that has been
attacking Israel almost daily since Hamas's attack on October 7.

In the hours since the strikes in Iran Friday morning, Iran has
downplayed their effect and significance, declining to directly point
the finger at Israel and announcing that no damage was done to any
nuclear sites. The International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) also
reported that no damage was done to nuclear sites, and there were no
reported casualties.
