Saudi Arabia says 'no radioactive effects' detected in Gulf after US strikes on Iran
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, June 22 (AFP) Jun 22, 2025
Saudi regulatory authorities said Sunday that "no radioactive effects were detected" in the Gulf region after US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

"No radioactive effects were detected on the environment of the Kingdom and the Arab Gulf states as a result of the American military targeting of Iran's nuclear facilities," the kingdom's Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission wrote in a post on X.

Kuwait's National Guard also posted on X that "radiation levels in Kuwait's airspace and waters are stable and the situation is normal".

After monitoring radiation levels at border crossings with neighbouring Iran, Iraq reported that it found "no radioactive contamination".

"All measurements were within the limits," said Iraq's Nuclear, Radiological, Chemical and Biological Regulatory Commission.
