Iran says wounded from US strikes showed no ‘signs of radioactive contamination’

Iran’s health ministry has acknowledged that US strikes on the country’s nuclear facilities wounded an unspecified number of people, but none “showed any signs of radioactive contamination” after seeking treatment, AFP reports.

“For years, the Ministry of Health has set up nuclear emergency units in the nearest medical facilities to nuclear sites,” ministry spokesman Hossein Kermanpour said on X.

“Fortunately, none of the injured individuals who were transferred to these centres following the American bombardment showed any signs of radioactive contamination.”
