The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is closely monitoring reports of a missile incident near Israel’s nuclear research infrastructure in Dimona. The agency confirmed that there was no damage detected at the Negev nuclear research center. Director General Rafael Grossi emphasized the importance of exercising military restraint around nuclear facilities to prevent potential safety crises.
The IAEA highlighted that no abnormal radiation levels were reported following the missile incident in Dimona. This monitoring comes in the midst of escalating tensions in the region and recent attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran. The agency is investigating an attack on the Natanz nuclear facility in Iran, with no reports of increased off-site radiation levels.
Iran has accused the United States and Israel of being responsible for the attack on the Natanz uranium-enrichment facility. Despite the attacks, Iranian officials assured that there were no radioactive leaks and nearby residents were not at risk. Tehran has called on the IAEA to condemn these actions strongly, warning of severe global implications if strikes near nuclear sites continue.
