IAEA says its monitoring Israeli attacks on nuclear sites on Iran

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Thursday that it is continuing to closely monitor and assess the situation regarding the Israeli attacks on nuclear sites in Iran, Reuters reported.

The UN nuclear watchdog said it had information that Iran's Khondab heavy water research reactor had been hit earlier on Thursday, but reported no radiological effects.

Military strikes by Israel on Iran's nuclear sites could lead to potential leaks of radioactive material.
