Iran: Concern grows over environmental impact of war DW 06/26/2025
Briefly

The US launched a significant military strike on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, targeting critical sites including Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz with advanced weaponry. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is struggling to assess the damage and potential radioactive contamination due to insufficient access to the affected areas. Experts express concerns about the unclear risks posed to the environment and public health, emphasizing that both the extent of the damage and the implications for surrounding populations remain largely unmeasured and uncertain.
On June 22, the US attacked the Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites with 14 'bunker busting' bombs... along with 30 Tomahawk missiles.
"We can see some damage on satellite images, but we don't know the actual extent and cost," said Gaukhar Mukhatzhanova.
"There is a lot we don't know, and that is really the big problem," said Roozbeh Eskandari, emphasizing the lack of information on the environmental risks.
