Following US attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesperson for the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, says efforts to develop the civilian nuclear sector will go on, Al Jazeera reports.

“This is not the first time our facilities have been attacked,” Kamalvandi told Iran’s YJC news agency. “Considering our capabilities, the nuclear industry must continue.”

The organisation confirmed attacks took place on its Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz sites. Iran said there were no signs of radioactive contamination at the three locations.
