    12 hours ago

    Baghdad, June 20 (IANS) Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani directed relevant bodies to continue monitoring potential radiation risks amid the Israel-Iran conflict.

     

     

    Al-Sudani's directive was made during a meeting with the Central Emergency Operations Room for Radiological and Nuclear Incidents to assess the country's readiness to address potential emergencies, Xinhua news agency reported quoting a statement by his media office.

     

    Specialists briefed al-Sudani that no increase in background radiation levels had been detected across Iraq, it said.

     

    The emergency operations room also affirmed the "full readiness of response teams to undertake necessary procedures in case of a radiological emergency," it added.

     

    As the Israeli-Iranian conflict continues to escalate, reports of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities have increased regional concerns about potential radiation leaks.

     

    Meanwhile, ) Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Effie Defrin said in a video statement that the Israeli Air Force has launched new attacks in western Iran.

     

    He said that Israeli jets flew over launch and storage sites for surface-to-surface missiles on Wednesday evening, targeting operatives attempting to access and remove munitions from locations previously struck.
