Kuwait says no increase in radioactive traces detected after US attack on Iran
Kuwait said its nuclear defense center did not detect an increase in radioactive traces in Kuwaiti airspace and waters following US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, the country's national guard said in a post on X.
Earlier on Sunday, the Saudi regulatory authorities said that 'no radioactive effects were detected' in the Gulf region after US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.
'No radioactive effects were detected on the environment of the Kingdom and the Arab Gulf states as a result of the American military targeting of Iran's nuclear facilities,' the Kingdom's Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission wrote in a post on X.
US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday night that American forces had struck three nuclear sites in Iran, calling the operation 'a spectacular military success' and warning that more attacks would be ordered if Tehran did not agree to a deal.

"I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil," said Rubio, who also serves as national security adviser, Reuters reported. "If they do that, it will be another terrible mistake. It's economic suicide for them if they do it. And we retain options to deal with that, but other countries should be looking at that as well. It would hurt other countries' economies a lot worse than ours." Rubio said a move to close the strait would be a massive escalation that would merit a response from the US and others.
