Nuclear Plant in Bushehr Hit by Missile

The nuclear power plant in Bushehr, southern Iran, was hit by a missile, without causing damage to the facility or injuries to personnel. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed the incident, citing information received from the Iranian authority. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi called for maximum restraint to avoid the risk of a nuclear accident. Rosatom, the Russian nuclear energy company, condemned the attack and called for de-escalation. The Bushehr plant is the only operating one in Iran and has limited production capacity.
