“In the light of the urgent situation in Iran, I am convening an emergency meeting of the oard of Governors for tomorrow,” IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi 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 IAEA said. However, IAEA would provide further assessments on situation in Iran as more information becomes available, it said.

The IAEA said a large nuclear complex in Esfahan has been targeted for a second time during Israel's attacks on Iran over the past nine days, with several more buildings struck.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced that his country had carried out “precision strikes” on three nuclear facilities - Fordow, Esfahan and Natanz.

"Our objective was destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and put a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one State sponsor of terror. I can report to the world that the strikes were spectacular, military success. The nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated," said Trump.
