Critical of US Action

International Reaction


UAE's nuclear authority on Sunday said US' attack on Iran's nuclear sites had no impact on the country.

The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) stated that relevant national authorities are closely monitoring the developments related to nuclear facilities in Iran.

FANR confirmed that it is well-informed and continuously following up on the situation, in coordination with international partners, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and receives regular updates through official channels.

It also urged the public to rely on official sources for information and to avoid spreading rumours and unverified news.

Earlier, the UAE urged an immediate halt to escalation to"avoid serious repercussions" in the region following strikes by the US on Iran's nuclear facilities, which have drawn criticism from countries across the globe.

It warned that such actions could lead the region to"new levels of instability," according to a statement from the foreign ministry.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait had also earlier confirmed that no radioactive effects were detected after the attacks.

The General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council also announced"no abnormal radiation levels" had been detected in any of the GCC countries to date, and that environmental and radiation indicators remain within safe and technically permissible levels.

The GCC authority also added that the situation and its developments will be continuously monitored through monitoring and early warning systems, and that"reports issued by them will be published on an ongoing basis as soon as they are received".
