The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said that, as of now, there have been no reports of increased off-site radiation levels following the US strikes on Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz.
“Following attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran – including Fordow – the IAEA can confirm that no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of this time,” the international nuclear energy agency said in a social media post.
“IAEA will provide further assessments on situation in Iran as more information becomes available.”
It is worth mentioning here that President Donald Trump said the US military has carried out a “very successful attack” on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordo.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.”
Trump added that “all planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors.”
Donald Trump’s announcement came just two days after he said he would decide “within two weeks” whether to join key ally Israel in attacking Iran.
Earlier on Saturday there were reports that US B-2 bombers — which carry so-called “bunker buster” bombs — were headed out of the United States.
Trump did not say what kind of US planes or munitions were involved.
Tehran had threatened reprisals on US forces in the Middle East if Trump attacked but the US president called for “peace.”
“There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” he said.
