UN nuclear watchdog says no sign US-Israeli attacks have hit Iran s nuclear facilities
The UN nuclear watchdog announced there is no evidence that attacks from the US and Israel have impacted Iran's nuclear sites. Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), stated, “As for the condition of the nuclear facilities in Iran, we currently have no evidence that any of them, including the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, the Tehran Research Reactor, or other nuclear fuel cycle sites, have been harmed or struck.” He also mentioned that no increase in radiation levels above normal has been observed in the countries surrounding Iran. Grossi made these remarks following a statement from Iran’s ambassador to the IAEA, who reported on Sunday that Natanz, one of Iran's three major nuclear facilities, had been attacked, according to Reuters. US President Donald Trump has pointed to the potential nuclear threat from Iran as one reason for US military actions against the country, despite US intelligence suggesting that Iran is almost a decade away from being able to develop a “militarily-viable” intercontinental ballistic missile.
