VIENNA, Feb 28 (Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear watchdog said on ​Saturday it ‌had seen no “radiological impact” from U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran ‌or ​retaliatory strikes ⁠in other countries ⁠in the region, though it did not say whether Iranian ​nuclear sites had been targeted.

“The ⁠IAEA is ⁠closely monitoring developments ​in the Middle ​East, and urges restraint to ‌avoid any nuclear safety risks to people in ⁠the region,” the International Atomic Energy Agency said on ⁠X. “The ‌IAEA is ⁠in permanent contact ​with ‌countries in the ​region, so ⁠far no evidence of any radiological impact.”
