Iran evacuated three nuclear facilities before U.S. military strikes targeted them over the weekend, according to a senior official from the country’s state broadcaster. The move reportedly prevented potential radiation risks to nearby residents. 💥
Hassan Abedini, deputy head of Iran’s state TV, revealed that enriched uranium had been transferred out of the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan sites prior to the attacks. "No materials left there would cause radiation harm," he said, addressing safety concerns. 🔬
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the bombings on Saturday, escalating tensions in a long-standing geopolitical showdown. While details about casualties or damage remain unclear, the incident highlights the fragile state of nuclear diplomacy. 🌍⚛️
Analysts speculate whether Iran’s advance evacuation signals prior intelligence about the strikes—or a strategic move to avoid environmental fallout. Either way, the situation adds fuel to an already volatile region. 🔥
