Egypt far from direct impact of any possible radiation levels after US bombed Iranian nuclear facilities: ENRRA
ENRRA headquarters CAIRO – 22 June 2025: Egyptian Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority (ENRRA): Egypt is far from any direct impact resulting US strikes on uranium enrichment facilities in Iran. The ENRRA reassures Egyptian citizens that no neighboring countries to Iran have reported any change or increase in their radiation levels. The Authority also confirms that it is monitoring around the clock developments related to the status of nuclear facilities in the region in accordance with the developments of current events, through: Continuously reviewing reports issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) concerning the condition of Iranian nuclear facilities. Actively monitoring background radiation through its national radiation monitoring and early warning system, which employs the latest detection technologies across Egypt. The Authority urges citizens to rely only on official data as a reliable source of information in this regard. On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that American aircraft had conducted heavy airstrikes on several Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. 'A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,' Trump said. The International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA) said on X: 'Following attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran - including Fordow - the IAEA can confirm that no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of this time.' The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran stated that there is no risk to residents living in the vicinity of the targeted nuclear sites. The Iranian Agency called for an investigation into "illegal" US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. It added that attacks on nuclear sites violate international law. 'We will not allow the development of this national industry to be halted,' it added In response, Iran attacked Ben Gurion Airport, the system's biological research center, and alternative command and control centers. Tehran added that it used guided missiles, capable of maneuvering the warhead at the moment of landing, and guiding until the moment of impact, and equipped with highly explosive and destructive warheads of various types. Since the outbreak of the war between Iran and Israel on June 13, Egypt has exerted tremendous diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict in which hundreds of people were killed and thousands were injured. The war started when Israel, which has nuclear weapon and not a member of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), launched missile and drones towards Tehran and killed hundreds of nuclear scientists, military leaders and civilians to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon. Israeli missiles and drones have targeted several nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan, Arak and Fordow, causing a minor level of radiation leakage in Natanz as it was reported by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Israel, which is totally backed by the US, seeks to be the only country in the region that has nuclear weapons. In retaliation, Iran fired hundreds hypersonic missiles and drones on Israel, causing severe damage to buildings besides the Weizmann Institute of Science, Haifa refinery, and the Gav-Yam Negev Advanced Technologies Park. Israel, which continues its genocidal war on Gaza despite its war with Iran, attempts to draw the US in its conflict with Iran to also topple the Iranian Islamic regime, led by the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. However, Tehran, along with its regional allies in the Middle East in Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen, threatened if the US entered the war, the US interests in the Middle East will be targeted.
