Iran reports ‘no danger’ near attacked nuclear sites
Iran’s government said there was no immediate danger to the public after the United States struck three of its nuclear sites on Sunday.
“There is no danger to the people living on the outskirts of our nuclear areas,” spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said on state television. “The people of Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo can continue their lives.”
It also said its knowledge in the nuclear field “cannot be destroyed” after the United States carried out a series of strikes Sunday on atomic facilities in the Islamic Republic.
“They should know that this industry has roots in our country and the roots of this national industry cannot be destroyed,” said Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi, according to Tasnim news agency. “Of course, we have suffered damage, but this is not the first time that the industry has suffered damage.”
