In a statement, ENRRA stressed that none of the countries neighbouring Iran have reported detecting any changes or increases in radiation levels.

The authority also affirmed continuous monitoring around the clock of developments related to the status of nuclear facilities in the regional vicinity as events unfold.

It added that it is following up on reports issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) concerning the situation at these facilities and constantly coordinating with the concerned national authorities.

The statement emphasized that ENRRA is monitoring the radiation background through the Authority’s radiation monitoring, alert, and early reporting system, which uses the latest radiation detection devices spread throughout the country.

The authority also urged citizens to rely only on official statements as a trusted source of information in this regard.

The IAEA issued a statement earlier confirming that there has been no increase in off-site radiation levels after US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

Iran also confirmed that there were no signs of contamination at its nuclear sites at Isfahan, Fordo, and Natanz after US airstrikes targeted the facilities.

In the early hours of Sunday, American B-2 stealth bombers unleashed several 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs against the heavily fortified Iranian nuclear sites, while US submarines launched about 30 Tomahawk missiles.
