Following U.S. military strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, Iranian officials report no signs of radioactive leakage or threat to nearby populations.
Iranian Nuclear Safety System Organization issued a statement on Sunday confirming that comprehensive assessments were immediately conducted following the “criminal U.S. aggression” against Iran’s nuclear facilities, reports Iran Press
The organization condemned the strike as a violation of international regulations, including the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and global nuclear safety protocols.
According to the statement, radiation monitoring systems deployed around the affected facilities recorded no signs of contamination. The organization emphasized that prior planning and safety measures were in place and that data from radioactive material detectors confirmed no anomalies.
It asserted that there is no risk posed to residents living in the vicinity of the aforementioned sites.
Saudi Arabia confirm no radioactive leakage
Saudi Arabia’s Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission (NRRC) on Sunday confirmed that no signs of radioactive contamination have been detected in the kingdom or its neighbouring Gulf states following the recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, SAMAA reported.
In a brief statement carried by state media, the NRRC said, “No radioactive effects were detected on the environment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or neighbouring Gulf countries after the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.”
The clarification comes amid growing regional concerns over the potential environmental fallout after US President Donald Trump announced that American forces had targeted key Iranian nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in a coordinated operation.
While Iran has downplayed the extent of the damage and assured that no radioactive material had been released, regional authorities have been monitoring the situation closely due to the proximity of several Gulf countries to the affected sites.
Experts had earlier warned of the possible transboundary impact in the event of a nuclear leak, particularly in countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE. However, the NRRC’s announcement appears to have eased immediate fears of environmental or public health risks across the Arabian Peninsula.
