ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Iranian and Saudi nuclear regulatory authorities confirmed on Sunday that no radioactive contamination has been detected following U.S. airstrikes targeting three key nuclear facilities in Iran, amid growing international concern over potential environmental consequences.
Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) said in a statement that immediate inspections were carried out at the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, revealing no signs of radiation leakage threatening civilian populations.
“We conducted all necessary tests to assess the possibility of radioactive contamination around the targeted sites,” the statement read. “There is no danger to residents.”
In a separate statement, Iran’s National Nuclear Safety System reiterated the findings, asserting that no public health risk had been identified in the aftermath of the “criminal American strikes.”
According to the statement, “based on preemptive measures, pre-established contingency planning, and data from radioactive detection systems, no radiation-related anomalies have been recorded.”
The Iranian agency described the attacks as a “blatant violation of international law,” including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and global nuclear safety conventions.
Meanwhile, the Saudi Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission (NRRC) announced early Sunday that monitoring systems across the Kingdom and the Gulf states had not detected any traces of radioactive fallout resulting from the U.S. military operation.
The statement affirmed, “No radiation has been recorded in the Kingdom or the Gulf region.”
Iran had earlier disclosed that it had evacuated certain nuclear materials from several facilities as a precaution, coinciding with the onset of Israel’s military campaign. The reassurance from both Tehran and Riyadh aims to ease fears of a broader radiological incident as the geopolitical crisis deepens.
