ISTANBUL, June 14 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Iran said on Saturday that Israel’s recent attack on the Fordow nuclear facility near the city of Qom caused only minor damage and did not result in any nuclear contamination, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
Speaking to the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA), Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation spokesperson Behrouz Kamalvandi provided updates on the status of the country’s nuclear sites following the attack.
“There is no significant damage in the targeted areas at Fordow. We had anticipated such a scenario and had already moved a substantial amount of equipment and materials off-site,” he said.
“As a result, there was no large-scale damage, and there is absolutely no concern regarding radioactive contamination.”
Kamalvandi also confirmed that no casualties occurred at any nuclear facility across the country.
“There have been past incidents where our nuclear industry was harmed, but we rebuilt it each time, even stronger than before.”
In the early hours of Friday, Israeli forces attacked Iran, hitting nuclear and missile facilities and killing over 104 people, including top military commanders and scientists, and injuring nearly 380 others.
