Iran's Foreign Minister also denounced the strikes, raising concerns over regional radioactive contamination risks.
The IAEA warned that attacks near Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant pose a very real danger to nuclear safety and must stop. The facility has been targeted four times since the US-Israeli war began, with the latest strike hitting just 75 meters from the perimeter. The IAEA cautioned that such strikes could cause severe radiological accidents.
The IAEA confirmed military strikes near Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, noting the plant itself sustained no damage. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi warned that continued military activity near the operating facility could trigger a severe radiological accident. The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization formally protested the shelling, calling for immediate international attention to the threat.
The IAEA confirmed military strikes near Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant but reported no damage to the facility itself. This confirmation was based on independent analysis of satellite imagery and site knowledge. The incident reflects the ongoing tension surrounding Iran's nuclear program.
Israel has repeatedly attacked Iran's South Pars gas field and near the Bushehr nuclear plant, which Iran strongly condemned as a violation of international law. The IAEA confirmed that Israeli strikes impacted close to the Bushehr nuclear facility. Despite proposals for a 45-day ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, tensions remain high.
The IAEA Director General stated that monitoring of Iran's nuclear activities is limited following recent military strikes by Israel and the US. He expressed concern over a newly declared underground enrichment facility in Isfahan that inspectors have not yet examined. The IAEA emphasized that lack of access prevents verification of Iran's uranium stockpile or suspension of activities.
