CAIRO – 15 June 2025: Head of the Egyptian Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority’ (ENRRA) Dr. Sami Shaaban stated that Egypt is completely safe from any radiation leak that might occur as a result of ongoing military escalation in the region between Iran and Israel.
In comments to Al Youm7 newspaper, He emphasized that there are no threats to the country and the authority is closely monitoring the situation to reassure citizens around the clock.
He continued that radiation monitoring devices in Egypt have been operating 24 hours a day for many years, noting that most of the information circulating on social media is inaccurate and unscientific.
Israeli has launched airstrikes since June 13, 2025 against Iranian several sites, including nuclear facilities. Damages occurred to Iranian nuclear facility of Natanz without leakage of radioactive or chemical contamination outside it. Also, Israeli launched strikes against Isfahan nuclear facilities several times but no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported so far according to the United Nation nuclear watchdog “the Interntaional Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)”.
On Friday, the ENRRA announced that it is closely monitoring the radiological situation and recent developments at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility.
The authority also stated that it is tracking all radiation-related developments through Egypt’s national radiation monitoring, early warning, and reporting network, which spans all governorates.
