US EditionNo radiation spike or impact at Iran's nuclear sites, says IAEA after Israeli strikes
- On Friday, Israel launched large-scale strikes called 'Operation Rising Lion' targeting Iran's Natanz nuclear and military facilities, escalating regional tensions.
- The strikes followed IAEA accusations that Iran failed to meet non-proliferation obligations amid concerns about Iran enriching uranium toward weapon-grade levels.
- While Israel claims significant damage to Natanz and Iran reports damage limited to above-ground structures, the IAEA confirmed no nuclear reactors or core sites were hit and detected no radiation increase.
- IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi described the attack as deeply concerning and highlighted ongoing close monitoring, while Russia's UN representative noted threats to IAEA personnel and urged objective assessment including radiological consequences.
- The event signals a sharp intensification in the Israel-Iran conflict with serious implications for regional security and non-proliferation, though no radiological hazards have been reported so far.
