“With the United States joining Israel in its attacks on Iran’s nuclear program, here is what we know about the radiation threat, and other health risks. Iran enriches uranium at two key sites, Natanz and Fordo. President Donald Trump said U.S. forces struck both sites, along with a third site, Isfahan, early Sunday, and Iran confirmed the strikes. The U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in a statement after the strikes that it ‘can confirm that no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of this time.’ … The Islamic Republic’s leaders say their nuclear program is for the peaceful purpose of harnessing atomic energy. But highly enriched uranium — which is radioactive — is used in the manufacture of atomic weapons, and Israel is determined to prevent Iran from having them.” (06/23/25)
