There has been some localized radioactive as well as chemical release inside the affected facilities that contained nuclear material, mainly uranium enriched to varying degrees, said Grossi on Tuesday.
However, he said, there has been no report of increased off-site radiation levels.
The agency is aware of concerns in the region regarding any radiological consequences as a result of the strikes on nuclear facilities, he said.
Grossi assured that there has been no radiological impact to the population and the environment in neighboring countries.
“Crucially in terms of nuclear safety, Iran’s research and power reactors were not targeted,” Director General Grossi said.
Earlier, Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, said that the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear sites were a blatant breach of international law, noting that Tehran will not relinquish its right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The U.S. attacked Iranian nuclear centers in support of Israel. The Israeli regime attacked Iran, including residential buildings in Tehran, in an unprovoked act of aggression overnight on June 13. Top Iranian military officials were assassinated in targeted strikes. Civilians died when houses were directly struck.
According to Iran’s Health Ministry, the Israeli regime killed 606 Iranians and wounded 1,342 others in the 12 days of war on Iran. Most of the victims were civilians, including many children.
