The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will hold an emergency Board of Governors meeting today after U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.
“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 UN agency said on platform X on Sunday.
The agency will provide further assessments as more information emerges.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the United States had struck nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi condemned the U.S. strikes as “outrageous” and warned they would have “everlasting consequences,” adding that Iran “reserves all options” for retaliation.
Before the U.S. attack, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi had reported that Israel had already targeted the Esfahan nuclear complex twice during the past nine days.
Grossi said the targeted facilities either contained no nuclear material or only small quantities of natural or low-enriched uranium, limiting potential radioactive contamination to the damaged structures.
“This nuclear complex in Esfahan - one of the key sites of the Iranian nuclear program - has repeatedly been attacked and extensively damaged,” Grossi said.
“As I have repeatedly stated, nuclear facilities should never be attacked.”
