The reassurance follows US President Donald Trump's announcement on Saturday night that the US military had bombed three major nuclear enrichment sites in Iran, calling the attacks a 'spectacular military success.'
UAE Closely Monitoring the Situation
FANR said it is working in coordination with key national authorities and international partners, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The authority added that it receives regular updates through official and verified channels to ensure transparency and safety.
'FANR confirmed that it is well-informed and continuously following up on the situation,' the statement read. 'It urges the public to rely on official sources for information and avoid spreading rumours or unverified news.'
No Radiation Detected
The IAEA also issued a statement on Sunday confirming that there had been no increase in radiation levels detected outside the targeted nuclear facilities in Iran. Director General Rafael Grossi said the agency would hold an emergency board meeting to assess the situation further.
'As of this time, we don't expect any health consequences for people or the environment outside the targeted sites,' Grossi said. 'We will continue to monitor and assess the situation and provide updates as needed.'
