UN's nuclear watchdog reports no radiation spike after US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites

The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has issued their first assessment following news of the US military's air strikes on multiple Iranian nuclear sites, declaring that they have not received information that points to dangerous radiation levels in the aftermath of the attacks. 

"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.
IAEA will provide further assessments on situation in Iran as more information becomes available," their official statement published on June 22 via their X account reads.

As Caliber.Az recalls, the US President Donald Trump announced in the early hours of June 22 (UTC+04:00) that American air forces conducted a "very successful attack" against key components of Iran’s nuclear program, including the fortified underground facility in Fordow, as well as sites in Natanz and Isfahan. According to the president's own statement to US media, a total of six "bunker-buster" bombs, each weighing roughly 13,600 kilograms, were dropped on the Fordow site, while 30 Tomahawk missiles were fired against other nuclear sites.
