US EditionIran Attacks Pose Limited Radiation Risks
- On June 23, US President Donald Trump announced strikes by US forces alongside Israel on Iran's nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, including the deeply buried Fordow facility.
- The attacks followed earlier Israeli strikes from June 13 targeting multiple nuclear locations amid ongoing efforts to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
- The U.N. nuclear watchdog verified damage to multiple sites while confirming there has been no rise in radiation levels beyond the facilities, with specialists emphasizing that the main hazards stem from chemical substances such as fluorine gas rather than radioactive contamination.

- Authorities and specialists warned that targeting Iran’s sole functional nuclear facility at Bushehr might trigger a severe radiation emergency, leading Gulf nations to heighten vigilance to safeguard regional water and food supplies.
