The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Wednesday said that there was no damage to facilities containing nuclear material in Iran and therefore no radiological release risk at this time.

The IAEA further called for restraint to avoid any damages.

In a post on X, it said, "Based on analysis of latest available satellite imagery, IAEA sees no damage to facilities containing nuclear material in Iran and therefore no radiological release risk at this time. Near Isfahan nuclear site, damage is visible at two buildings. No additional impact detected at Natanz after previously reported damage at entrances, and no impact at other nuclear sites, including Bushehr NPP. DG Rafael Mariano Grossi reiterates call for maximum restraint to help avoid any danger of radiological incident."

"IAEA remains in constant contact with national nuclear safety regulators in the Middle East. So far, no elevation of radiation detected. The nuclear power plant in UAE and research reactors in Jordan and Syria continue to operate normally. DG Rafael Mariano Grossi stresses the paramount importance of maintaining regional nuclear safety and security during the military conflict," it said further.

Grossi had also said that there is no evidence of Iran building a nuclear bomb, its large stockpile of near-weapons grade enriched uranium are cause for serious concern.

In a post on X, he said, "I have been very clear and consistent in my reports on Iran's nuclear programme: while there has been no evidence of Iran building a nuclear bomb, its large stockpile of near-weapons-grade enriched uranium and refusal to grant my inspectors full access are cause for serious concern. For these reasons, my previous reports indicate that unless and until Iran assists the IAEA in resolving the outstanding safeguards issues, the Agency will not be in a position to provide assurance that Iran's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful."

The IAEA DG's comments come even as US President Donald Trump claimed that had they not targeted Iran now they would have got their hands on nuclear weapons. Trump who described the Islamist Regime as 'crazy people' who would have used a nuclear weapon had they had access to it. (ANI)
