The IAEA detects no increase in radiation outside nuclear facilities attacked by the United States in Iran.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Sunday that it has so far recorded no increase in radiation levels outside the three nuclear facilities attacked by the United States in Iran, and it is confident there will be no health or environmental consequences.
"Following the attacks on three nuclear facilities in Iran, including Fordó, the IAEA can confirm that, to date, no increase in radiation levels has been recorded outside the facilities," the agency said in a statement posted on the social media platform X.

US President Donald Trump asserted this Saturday that his country has "greatly successfully" attacked the nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
Following the bombings, which also used heavy-duty bunker-busting bombs, Iran's Nuclear Safety Center also stated that "no signs of contamination" have been recorded at the sites hit.
The IAEA Director General's statement In a subsequent statement, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced the convening of an extraordinary meeting of the UN agency's Board of Governors for this Monday to address the situation in Iran following the attacks.
"Given the increasingly serious situation in terms of nuclear safety and security, the Board of Governors will meet tomorrow in extraordinary session," Grossi said.
The agency chief added that, according to information received from Iranian authorities, "there has been no increase in radiation levels outside the attacked nuclear facilities, including the Fordó uranium enrichment site."
"So far, we don't expect any consequences for human health or the environment outside of the affected areas," he added.

"We will continue to monitor and assess the situation in Iran and will provide further information as it becomes available," the IAEA said.
According to the latest IAEA data, dated June 13, the three bombed facilities housed nuclear material in the form of uranium enriched at different levels, which could generate radioactive and chemical contamination within the facilities themselves.
As he expressed before the United Nations Security Council on Friday, Grossi reiterated his call for restraint and the search for a diplomatic solution.
"I have stated on numerous occasions that nuclear facilities should never be attacked," he stressed.
The Director General also stressed the need for a cessation of hostilities to allow the IAEA to resume its inspections in Iran, including verification of the country's highly enriched uranium inventory.
