WHO warns attacks near nuclear sites risk catastrophe The World Health Organisation (WHO) warned that strikes around nuclear sites in Iran and Israel have pushed the war to a “perilous stage.” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said attacks on sensitive facilities pose serious risks to public health and environmental safety. “I urgently call on all parties to exercise maximum military restraint and avoid any actions that could trigger nuclear incidents,” Tedros said, urging de-escalation as concerns grow over potential fallout. He added that targeting nuclear sites increases the danger of wider regional and global consequences.
