Warning of Serious Radiological Risk After New Strike Near Bushehr Nuclear Plant

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has announced that Iran has informed it of a new strike near the Bushehr nuclear plant, the third such incident in ten days. Tehran assured that the reactor was not damaged and no radioactive leak occurred. However, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi warned that any attack causing damage to a reactor could lead to a serious radiological incident and called on all parties to exercise “maximum military restraint.” The series of attacks heightens concerns about the safety of nuclear facilities amid rising regional tensions.
