On June 22, 2025, the United States executed a targeted military strike against three Iranian nuclear sites, including the notable underground uranium enrichment facility located at Fordow. President Donald Trump hailed the operation as a “very successful attack,” asserting that the core of Tehran’s nuclear ambitions has been severely compromised. This action has escalated regional tensions and elicited diverse responses from international leaders.
Regional Reactions and Safety Assurances
The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) in the United Arab Emirates has assured that no safety risks have arisen at nuclear facilities within UAE borders. Authorities remain vigilant, closely monitoring any developments related to the strike. The UAE government has also issued a call for calm, urging all parties involved to prioritize peaceful resolution and de-escalate tensions.
Broader Middle East Response
Saudi Arabia confirmed the absence of any radioactive impact across the Gulf region, despite the US military action. Nevertheless, the strike has sparked international concern, with many world leaders condemning it as a dangerous escalation that could destabilize the region further. Contrastingly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commended the strike, calling it a bold and decisive action.
Precautionary Measures in Bahrain
