Saudi regulator says no radiation detected after US strikes on Iran

No radioactive traces have been detected in the environment of Saudi Arabia or other Arab Gulf states following the US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, Saudi Arabia's nuclear regulator said in a post on X on Sunday.

In a statement on Sunday, Saudi Arabia expressed its "great concern" following US attacks, according to a statement by the foreign ministry on X.

The kingdom called on the international community to boost efforts in such "highly sensitive circumstances" to reach a political solution to end the crisis.

Meanwhile, the UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi said on Sunday he was calling an emergency meeting of his agency's 35-nation Board of Governors after the United States said it carried out military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

"In light of the urgent situation in Iran, I am convening an emergency meeting of the (International Atomic Energy Agency) Board of Governors for tomorrow," IAEA chief Grossi said on X.
