Following an explosion on 2 July in a building at the Natanz facility, Iran's Supreme National Security Council said they knew the cause but due to "security concerns" further details would be released at an "appropriate time". We will continue to monitor Iran's response to this explosion. The IAEA have confirmed that the location where the incident occurred did not contain nuclear materials.
