The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed on Sunday that there was no increase in radiation levels following U.S. airstrikes on three of Iran’s key nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
In a short statement released on social media, the IAEA said radiation levels outside the targeted locations remain within safe limits. “As of now, no rise in off-site radiation has been reported,” the agency noted, adding that it will continue to monitor the situation closely.
These remarks come after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that American forces had carried out strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure in response to what Washington described as “serious threats” from Tehran’s atomic program.
While Iranian officials have played down the damage and stated that all critical sites were evacuated in time, global concerns remain high. Environmental experts and world leaders are closely watching the aftermath for any signs of radiation leaks or long-term nuclear contamination.
Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan are among Iran’s most sensitive and closely monitored nuclear facilities. They have been central to international diplomacy and disputes concerning Iran’s uranium enrichment activities and nuclear ambitions.
So far, the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization and IAEA have not reported any breaches inside the sites. However, both agencies have pledged to continue thorough inspections to ensure that no radiation hazard threatens public safety or regional stability.
