The statement came hours after US President Donald Trump announced that Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan were bombed.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed that no increase in off-site radiation levels has been detected following U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities overnight Saturday, including the underground Fordow uranium enrichment site.

The IAEA stated it will continue to monitor the situation and provide further assessments as more information becomes available.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced that “in light of the urgent situation in Iran,” he is convening an emergency meeting of the U.N. atomic watchdog’s 35-member Board of Governors on Monday.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space,” U.S. President Donald Trump stated after the attack.

“A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” he added. “All planes are safely on their way home.”
