'No signs of contamination': Iran after US strikes its nuclear facilities
Iran said early Sunday there were no signs of contamination at its nuclear sites at Isfahan, Fordo and Natanz after US airstrikes targeted the facilities. Iranian state media quoted the country's National Nuclear Safety System Centre, which published a statement saying its radiation detectors had recorded no radioactive release after the strikes. There is no danger to the residents living around the aforementioned sites, the statement added. Earlier Israeli airstrikes on nuclear sites similarly have caused no recorded release of radioactive material into the environment around the facilities, the International Atomic Energy Agency has said. President Donald Trump on Saturday announced that US forces had carried out a 'very successful attack' on three of Iran's major nuclear sites, declaring that Tehran's nuclear programme had been 'completely and totally obliterated.' The strikes, which came after days of deliberation but ahead of Trump's self-imposed two-week deadline, mark a major escalation in the conflict as the US formally joins Israel's military campaign against Iran. In a brief televised address from the Oval Office, Trump said: 'The strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally destroyed.' He warned Tehran that the path forward held 'either peace or tragedy,' and cautioned that many more targets remain on the US military's radar. 'If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill,' he added. According to CBS News, the US informed Iran via diplomatic channels that no further strikes were planned and that the US does not seek regime change. Trump confirmed that the targeted sites included Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. Speaking to Fox News, he said six bunker-buster bombs were used against the heavily fortified Fordow facility, while 30 Tomahawk missiles struck other nuclear sites.

Iran says ‘no signs of contamination' after US strikes 3 nuclear facilities
Iranian authorities have said that there were no signs of contamination at its nuclear sites in Isfahan, Fordow and Natanz after the United States carried out air strikes targeted at the facilities on Saturday night, Associated Press reported. The Iranian state media quoted the country's National Nuclear Safety System Centre which released a statement after the US strikes that its radiation detectors recorded no release of radioactive materials. 'ANY RETALIATION BY IRAN AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL BE MET WITH FORCE FAR GREATER THAN WHAT WAS WITNESSED TONIGHT. THANK YOU! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES' — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 22, 2025 Iran's National Nuclear Safety System Centre further stated that there is no danger to the residents living near the nuclear sites of Isfahan, Fordow and Natanz. Israel, which had launched 'Operation Rising Lion' last Friday to restrict Iran from enriching uranium and dismantling its nuclear program, had attacked the nuclear sites but similarly no release of radioactive material was recorded into the environment around the facilities. President Donald Trump on Saturday announced that the United States conducted air strikes at three Iranian nuclear facilities, and declared that it was a 'very successful attack' which has 'completely and totally obliterated' Tehran's nuclear programme. Trump further warned Iran that the path forward held 'either peace or tragedy', and cautioned the Islamic country that many more targets remain on the radar of the US military. Trump, while addressing the country in a televised address on Saturday said, 'The strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally destroyed.' The strikes by the US come after about two months of deliberation between the Trump administration and the Iranian authorities to broker a nuclear deal, which failed after Israel launched its offensive against Tehran last week. The US military's strikes marks a major escalation in the conflict as America has formally joined Israel's military campaign against Iran. Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has called out the United States for its targeted strikes in Iran and said that it is a violation of the UN charter.

Iran Says 'No Signs Of Contamination' After US Airstrikes On Key Nuclear Facilities
Last Updated: Iran's National Nuclear Safety System Centre published a statement saying its radiation detectors had recorded no radioactive release after the US strikes. Iran said there were 'no signs of contamination" after the United States military attacked three nuclear facilities – Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz – in the early hours of Sunday in a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The country's National Nuclear Safety System Centre published a statement saying its radiation detectors had recorded no radioactive release after the strikes, according to state media. It said there was no danger to the residents living around the aforementioned sites. The Atomic Energy Commission also said there were no signs of radioactive contamination, reassuring the public that the US strikes had shown no radiation leaks. It condemned the US strikes as 'barbaric" and in violation of international law, saying Iran's nuclear programme will not be halted. 'It is expected that the international community will condemn this lawlessness rooted in 'jungle rules" and support Iran in asserting its legitimate rights." This came after Saudi Arabia's nuclear regulator says no radioactive traces have been detected in the environment of Saudi Arabia or other Gulf states following strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, as per reports. 'No Danger To Residents' Iranian state media also reported that there is 'no danger" to residents following the US airstrikes on a key nuclear facility, assuring the public that the situation remains under control despite the severity of the attack. US President Donald Trump joined in on strikes against Iran as the American military targeted three nuclear sites, in an unprecedented move that heightened tensions of a full-fledged war in West Asia. Trump announced that the United States had completed a 'very successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran – including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. He pressed Iran to either make peace with Israel and the US or face 'far greater" attacks in the future. In a stark warning to the US, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, 'Americans should expect greater damage and blows than ever before," as analysts expect an Iranian retaliation. Hamas also condemned the 'brutal aggression" of the US, calling it a violation of international law. Meanwhile, Israel's Airport Authority announced it was closing the country's airspace to both inbound and outbound flights in the wake of the US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. First Published:
