Saudi Arabia: 'No Radioactive Effects' Detected in Gulf after US Strikes on Iran

Saudi regulatory authorities said Sunday that "no radioactive effects were detected" in the Gulf region after US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

"No radioactive effects were detected on the environment of the Kingdom and the Arab Gulf states as a result of the American military targeting of Iran's nuclear facilities," the Kingdom's Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission wrote in a post on X.

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran confirmed that attacks took place on its Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz sites. Iran said there were no signs of radioactive contamination at the three locations and no danger to nearby residents.

Kuwait also said its nuclear defense center did not detect an increase in radioactive traces in Kuwaiti airspace and waters.
