Middle East conflict: Could Iran's nuclear sites turn toxic? Experts weigh risks after US and Israeli strikes

While the IAEA hasn't detected increased radiation, experts warn of the dangers from released toxic chemicals like uranium hexafluoride. Attacks on enrichment sites pose chemical risks, but a strike on the Bushehr nuclear power plant could trigger a catastrophic radiological disaster.
