IAEA Reports Closure of Iran's Khondab Heavy Water Production Facility

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that Iran's Khondab heavy water production facility is no longer operational as of March 29, 2026.

This closure could have significant implications for Iran's nuclear material production capabilities, particularly in relation to heavy water, which is essential for certain types of reactors.

The cessation of operations at Khondab may alter the dynamics of Iran's nuclear infrastructure and its compliance with international agreements.
