The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said that it is continuing to closely monitor the situation in Iran following Israeli attacks on nuclear sites, Reuters reports.

According to a statement, IAEA Director General Mariano Grossi has said that the body is “providing frequent public updates about developments and their possible consequences for human health and the environment”.

“Since the military attacks began almost a week ago, the IAEA has been reporting on damage at several of these facilities, including at nuclear-related sites located in Arak, Isfahan, Natanz and Tehran, and their potential radiological impact,” the statement read.

“IAEA inspectors remain present in Iran, ready to be deployed at nuclear sites when possible, even though the number of Agency staff has been reduced somewhat in light of the security situation.”
