Iran has accused the US of violating international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) following overnight airstrikes on three of its key nuclear facilities. However, Tehran says preliminary inspections have found no signs of radioactive contamination.
In a statement issued early on Sunday, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) confirmed that US strikes targeted its nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The operation, conducted in coordination with Israel, was condemned by the Iranian authorities as an illegal and “brutal” act.
“This act of aggression was carried out under the shadow of international indifference, and with the apparent support or silence of the International Atomic Energy Agency,” the AEOI said.
Iran’s Center for the National Nuclear Safety System reported that emergency inspections had been completed at all three locations. “No signs of contamination have been recorded,” the agency said, adding that there is “no danger to residents living near the affected sites.”
