The report said there was 'no radiation danger whatsoever' and that the facility had already been evacuated before the attack.
Israel had warned earlier Thursday morning that it would attack the facility and urged the public to flee the area.
The warning came in a social media post on X. It included a satellite image of the plant in a red circle, like other warnings that preceded strikes.

Trump says US 'may' or 'may not' strike Iran as Tehran rejects call to surrender
The Israeli military said Thursday's round of air strikes targeted Tehran and other areas of Iran, without elaborating. It later said Iran fired a new salvo of missiles at Israel and told the public to take shelter.

Israel's seventh day of air strikes on Iran came a day after Iran's supreme leader rejected US calls for surrender and warned that any military involvement by the Americans would cause 'irreparable damage to them'. Israel also lifted some restrictions on daily life, suggesting the missile threat from Iran on its territory was easing.

China to evacuate citizens from Israel via Egypt border amid escalating Mideast conflict
China's embassy in Israel said it will begin evacuating nationals via the Egyptian border from Friday, after hundreds had already left the country, while about 1,600 others had left Iran over the last few days. In a statement on Thursday, the embassy said it was seeking to register Chinese citizens who wished to evacuate in organised groups, which would leave Israel by bus via the Taba border crossing, about 360km (224 miles) from Tel Aviv. Evacuees must hold a valid Chinese passport or valid Chinese national identification card, travel documents from Hong Kong or Macau, or a mainland-issued travel permit for Taiwan residents. The notice was issued after Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke by phone on Wednesday with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty. Israel and Iran have entered a seventh day of an air war, with missiles hitting not only strategic targets but also residential areas since Israel launched what it called a 'pre-emptive strike' on Iran last Friday. 04:26 Trump says US 'may' or 'may not' strike Iran as Tehran rejects call to surrender Trump says US 'may' or 'may not' strike Iran as Tehran rejects call to surrender Foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Thursday that around 1,600 Chinese nationals have been safely evacuated from Iran, along with several hundred from Israel, under arrangements between the ministry, China's embassies and consulates, and neighbouring countries.

United States resumes foreign students' visa process but only if they unlock social media
The United States will restart its student visa application process for foreigners, but all applicants will now be required to make their social media accounts public for government review, the State Department said Wednesday. Consular officers will be on the lookout for posts and messages that could be deemed hostile to the United States, its government, culture, institutions or founding principles, the department said. In a notice made public on Wednesday, the department confirmed it had revoked its May suspension of student visa processing. However, it said new applicants who refuse to set their social media accounts to 'public' and allow them to be reviewed may be rejected. A refusal to do so could be a sign they are trying to evade the requirement or hide their online activity, the department said. June 2025: Trump suspends new Chinese and other foreign student visas at Harvard The Trump administration temporarily halted scheduling new visa interviews for foreign students hoping to study in the US last month while preparing to expand the screening of their social media activity, officials said. Students around the world had been anxiously waiting for US consulates to reopen visa interview appointments as the window to book their travels and make housing arrangements narrowed ahead of the start of the school year. On Wednesday afternoon, a 27-year-old PhD student in Toronto secured an appointment for a visa interview next week. The student, a Chinese national, hoped to travel to the United States for a research internship that would begin in late July. Graduating students attend Columbia University's commencement ceremony. Foreign students make up more than 15 per cent of the total student body at nearly 200 US universities, according to an Associated Press report. Photo: Reuters 'I'm really relieved,' said the student, who spoke on condition of being identified only by his surname, Chen, because he was concerned about being targeted. 'I've been refreshing the website a couple of times every day.' Students from China, India, Mexico, and the Philippines have posted on social media sites that they have been monitoring visa booking websites and closely watching State Department press briefings to get any indication of when appointment scheduling might resume. In reopening the visa process, the State Department also told consulates to prioritise students hoping to enrol at colleges where foreigners make up less than 15 per cent of the student body, a US official familiar with the matter said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to detail information that has not been made public. May 2025: Trump administration removes Harvard's ability to enrol international students Foreign students make up more than 15 per cent of the total student body at nearly 200 US universities, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal education data from 2023. Most are private universities, including all eight Ivy League schools. But that criterion also includes 26 public universities, including the University of Illinois and Pennsylvania State University. Looking only at undergraduate students, foreign students make up more than 15 per cent of the population at about 100 universities, almost all of them private. International students in the US have been facing increased scrutiny on several fronts. In the spring, the Trump administration revoked permission to study in the US for thousands of students, including some involved only in traffic offences, before abruptly reversing course. The government also expanded the grounds on which the legal status of foreign students can be terminated. More than 1,000 international students in the US have had their visas or legal status revoked As part of a pressure campaign targeting Harvard University, the Trump administration has moved to block foreign students from attending the Ivy League school. International students account for a quarter of the university's enrolment, which relies on the group's tuition dollars. Trump has said Harvard should cap its foreign enrolment at 15 per cent. This latest move to vet students' social media, the State Department said Wednesday, 'will ensure we are properly screening every single person attempting to visit our country'. In internal guidance sent to consular officers, the department said they should be looking for 'any indications of hostility toward the citizens, culture, government, institutions or founding principles of the United States'. Trump has signed a proclamation banning individuals from 12 countries from entering the US, reinstating one of the most controversial measures from his first term. via AFP Jameel Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, said the new policy evokes the ideological vetting of the Cold War when prominent artists and intellectuals were excluded from the United States. 'This policy makes a censor of every consular officer, and it will inevitably chill legitimate political speech both inside and outside the United States,' Jaffer said. Trump signs US travel ban targeting 12 nations while limiting entry for 7 others The Trump administration has also called on 36 countries to commit to improving the vetting of travellers or face a ban on their citizens visiting the United States. A weekend diplomatic cable sent by the State Department said the countries have 60 days to address US concerns or risk being added to a travel ban that now includes 12 nations.

Tucker Carlson's a Trump-coddling coward
The online meltdown over Tucker Carlson's evisceration of Ted Cruz was predictably theatrical. Social media buzzed with the usual suspects declaring it a must-see affair, praising Carlson's surgical dismantling of the Texas senator's Iran hawks routine. And yes, watching Cruz squirm like a pinned beetle was wildly entertaining. The man's capacity for public humiliation remains genuinely impressive. Cruz, a man-shaped lobbyist pamphlet, was an easy target, though. Carlson's takedown wasn't brave—it was bloodsport for clicks. He used Cruz as a stand-in to criticize US policy on Iran while conveniently dodging the one person actually responsible: Donald Trump. The man who greenlit the military aid to Israel. The man Carlson won't touch. This is the sleight of hand. Carlson postures as a dissident, but his crosshairs never rise above the Senate floor. He talks like an outsider, but never punches up. The result is cowardice—calculated avoidance dressed up as defiance, monetized for maximum clicks. Carlson isn't challenging power; he's cackling all the way to the bank, turning selective outrage into a subscription model. And in many ways, that's worse than the naked sycophants. At least Cruz grovels openly. Carlson misleads his audience into thinking he's rebelling against the machine, when in truth he's guarding its king. He lashes out at the foot soldiers and spares the general. This is not journalism. Not the respectable kind, anyway. When Israel began pounding Iran, Carlson didn't question the president's role in approving support—he attacked Cruz's rhetoric. Trump got a pass. He always does from Carlson. From the entire pseudo-revolutionary right. They all know who signs the checks, who pulls the strings, and who might one day hand them a podium or a pardon. That's why the silence is deafening. Steve Bannon, that other supposed voice of anti-establishment fire, falls into the same craven category. The architect of MAGA is perfectly willing to criticize the decision to assist Israel's Iranian adventures—but only in the abstract, never with Trump's name attached. For all his blue-collar cosplay and populist posturing, Bannon knows exactly which side his bread is buttered on. Without Trump, he's just another uber-wealthy ex-Goldman Sachs banker playing dress-up in work shirts and five o'clock shadow. But this isn't harmless. If Iran falls, the region doesn't get freer—it gets bloodier. The Islamic Republic is brutal, yes—but it's also a geopolitical keystone. Remove it, and the arch collapses. The aftermath wouldn't be democratic reform or some Instagram-filtered 'Persian Spring.' It would be tribal fragmentation, religious warfare, and the violent settling of decades-old scores. Hezbollah would spin even looser in Lebanon. Israel would face attacks on multiple fronts. ISIS remnants would resurface in the chaos, feeding off the vacuum like parasites in open wounds. Iraq would fracture again. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states would pour in money, weapons, and jihadist mercenaries to counterbalance rising Shia influence. Iran's Revolutionary Guard wouldn't simply vanish—it would splinter, with rogue commanders forming warlord fiefdoms across the region. Russia and China, already circling, would seize the chance to claim strategic energy corridors and military influence. Western embassies would go dark. Diplomacy would give way to drone strikes. And Europe? It would face a second refugee crisis, exponentially worse than 2015. Millions of displaced Iranians, Afghans, Iraqis, and Syrians, fleeing instability, starvation, or sectarian cleansing, would flood the Mediterranean and Balkans. Greece and Italy, already on the brink, would snap. France and Germany would fracture internally. The EU itself might not survive another wave. What falls in Tehran doesn't stay in Tehran. And yet no one on the right with any real influence is willing to say the obvious: Trump bears responsibility. Not Ted Cruz. President Trump, a man whose decisions, backroom deals, vanity, and erratic instincts bring us closer to World War III. Carlson won't say it. He can't. His son, Buckley, works for Vice President J D Vance. His livelihood depends on proximity to Trump's orbit. He'll hurl rocks at Congress but never at the throne. The result is a pathetic parody of journalism, where everything is questioned except the one man most responsible. We are ruled by strongmen and served by courtiers. Carlson's job is to entertain the peasants while never threatening the king. And as long as this charade continues, the real culprits walk free, while the world inches closer to complete carnage.
