The IAEA is closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East and calls for restraint to avoid risks to nuclear safety. There is currently no evidence of radiological impact, but Iran continues suspicious activity at nuclear facilities.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stated that it is closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East amid the US and Israeli military operation against Iran. In particular, they called on the parties "to exercise restraint" to avoid nuclear safety risks in the region. The IAEA press service reported this on the social network X, writes UNN.

The IAEA is in constant contact with the countries of the region, and at present there is no evidence of any radiological impact. The Agency will continue to monitor and report on the situation," the statement said.
Supplement
The IAEA recorded regular and unexplained work by Iran at enrichment sites attacked by the US and Israel. UN inspectors are denied access, which poses a threat to nuclear non-proliferation.
