No Radiation Detected in Saudi Arabia, GCC after US Strikes on Iran: NRRC
Radiation levels across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are normal, the Kingdom’s Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission (NRRC) announced on Sunday following the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.
“No radiation effects have been detected in the environment of Saudi Arabia or other Gulf States as a result of the US military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities,” the NRRC said in a statement.
Similarly, the Iranian National Nuclear Safety System Center announced that no signs of contamination have been recorded around the Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites.
Early on Sunday, the US launched strikes on 3 nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. The US President, Donald Trump, announced a “very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran.”
In a televised address, Trump said: “Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”
Moreover, Trump said that Iran must agree to end the war, warning that any retaliation by Tehran against the US “will be met with force far greater than what was witnessed tonight,” he posted on Truth Social.
