The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced that, according to the analysis of the latest satellite images of nuclear facilities in Iran, no damage has been detected in facilities containing nuclear material, and therefore there is no risk of radiological leakage.
In a statement made from the account of the US-based X company on social media, evaluations regarding the nuclear facilities in Iran were shared. The statement indicated that, according to the analysis of the latest satellite images, no damage was observed in facilities containing nuclear material, and thus there is no risk of radiological leakage.
