01:06neighboring countries given that the nearest reactor is situated more than 240 kilometers from the state
01:10of Kuwait. This distance in and of itself very significantly reduces the degree of impact from
01:18those radioactive leaks so that the majority of them will fall along the way before ever reaching the

02:27neighboring countries potentially triggering a gulf-wide water crisis kuwait has activated one of the region's
02:34most advanced monitoring networks including 29 land-based and 15 marine radiation stations 196 stocked nuclear or
02:44radiation shelters ready for extended stays ports and desalination plants under heightened
02:50screening officials report that all readings are within safe background levels and the iaea confirms no abnormal
02:57radiation across the gulf the alert comes amid rising u.s israeli strikes on iranian targets alongside iranian missile and
03:06drone activity in the gulf iaea director general rafael grossi warned that a direct hit on an operating
03:14reactor like boucher crosses the reddest line of all in nuclear safety iranian foreign minister abbas arahshi
03:22emphasized that any attack could trigger catastrophic radioactive leakage affecting the entire region kuwaiti
03:30authorities insist stay calm follow guidance and ignore rumors on social media radiation is
03:36normal but preparedness is critical emergency kits with water non-perishables and battery-powered
