TEHRAN, Oct 16, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Iran's atomic energy agency said Wednesday an Israeli attack on key nuclear sites was "very unlikely" and the country would be able to "quickly compensate" for any potential damage. 

"It is very unlikely to happen," said the agency spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi in a video interview with Nournews agency. "In the event of an attack on a key site: be sure it will not succeed," he continued, adding that "the country can quickly compensate for" any potential damage.
