Atomic Energy Organization spokesperson says no incident occurred at Fordow site

Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesperson for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, told Tasnim News that no incident took place at the Fordow nuclear site following Israeli strikes. He said he was personally at the facility and confirmed with colleagues that operations were intact.

He added that Iran had repeatedly written to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi warning of potential threats, but received no adequate response. Kamalvandi criticized Grossi for, in his words, justifying rather than condemning threats.

Kamalvandi also confirmed that IAEA chief Mohammad Eslami had visited Natanz, where "minor surface-level damage" occurred.

“Both Natanz and Fordow are underground facilities,” he noted. “Fortunately, we had no casualties, and while we do not yet have a full damage assessment, most of the impact appears to be superficial.”

He said no radiation or chemical contamination was detected outside the sites, though internal cleanup would be required.
