No off-site contamination from strike on Isfahan nuclear site, IAEA says

Jun 22, 2025, 10:59 GMT+1

The Iranian Isfahan nuclear facilities struck earlier in the day held either no nuclear material or only small amounts of natural or low-enriched uranium, limiting any radioactive contamination to the affected buildings, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Sunday.

“This nuclear complex in Esfahan – one of the key sites of the Iranian nuclear program – has repeatedly been attacked and extensively damaged,” Director General Rafael Grossi said.

“Based on our analysis of the nuclear material present, we don’t see any risk of off-site contamination. Nevertheless, as I have repeatedly stated, nuclear facilities should never be attacked.”

US crossed Iran’s red line with nuclear site attack, Araghchi says

Jun 22, 2025, 10:42 GMT+1

The United States had crossed one of Iran’s most serious red lines by attacking its nuclear facilities, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday.

"The US crossed a very big red line by attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities," he said.

Speaking in Istanbul, Araghchi said the US bore full responsibility for the consequences of its actions and said Tehran would respond using all tools at its disposal.

“The attack on peaceful nuclear installations marks a dangerous precedent and will not go unanswered,” he said.

Araghchi criticized Washington for undermining diplomacy and giving what he called a green light to Israel’s military operations.

"They betrayed diplomacy, they betrayed negotiations...Iran has done nothing wrong, it is difficult to understand why we were attacked on a false claim."

Regarding the overnight US attacks on nuclear site, he said "the extent of damages are being investigated."

"The international community should condemn the attacks."

Tehran reserves its right under the UN Charter to defend itself and respond proportionately to acts of aggression, he added.

IRGC warns US bases are 'points of vulnerability' in the region

Jun 22, 2025, 10:14 GMT+1

The widespread presence of US military bases across the region represents not a strength but a point of vulnerability, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Sunday in a statement following overnight American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

"As we have repeatedly stated, the number, dispersion, and extent of US military bases in the region are not a point of strength, but rather have doubled their vulnerability," the Revolutionary Guards said in a Sunday statement.

Iran’s nuclear capabilities are resilient against foreign attacks, the IRGC added.

“We firmly assert that Iran’s indigenous and peaceful nuclear technology cannot be destroyed by any attack,” the statement said.
