"I call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint to avoid further escalation. I reiterate that any military action that jeopardizes the safety and security of nuclear facilities risks grave consequences for the people of Iran, the region, and beyond," Grossi said in his statement.

While Iranian officials confirmed other major facilities were unaffected and no radiation levels have risen, Grossi urged restraint, warning of the dangers military action poses to nuclear safety. He reiterated that diplomatic solutions remain the only viable path forward.
