VIENNA, Feb 28 (Reuters) - The U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Saturday it had seen no “radiological impact” from U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran or retaliatory strikes in other countries in the region, though it did not say whether Iranian nuclear sites had been targeted.

“The IAEA is closely monitoring developments in the Middle East, and urges restraint to avoid any nuclear safety risks to people in the region,” the International Atomic Energy Agency said on X. “The IAEA is in permanent contact with countries in the region, so far no evidence of any radiological impact.”
