Tehran - BORNA - The Iran National Nuclear Safety System said in a statement that on March 7, 2026, it received information about air and missile strikes carried out by the Israeli regime and the United States against a gamma sterilization irradiation facility in Isfahan Province.
The attack caused significant damage to the facility.
The statement noted that the facility had been used to improve the quality and extend the shelf life of agricultural products through irradiation technology.
According to the announcement, environmental monitoring results so far show no increase in gamma dose levels and no other radioactive contamination in the surrounding environment.
Earlier, the National Nuclear Safety System had also reported air and missile attacks on the Natanz Nuclear Facility by Israel and the United States.
