Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Plant Attacked, Iranian Media Reports

On March 28, Jin10 reported that Iranian media claimed the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran was attacked on the night of March 27. No damage to the plant or casualties have been reported. The plant, which is operational and stores a significant amount of radioactive material, could pose a severe nuclear accident risk if attacked. The report criticized the United States and Israel for targeting facilities that use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, stating that such actions violate international law and pose a serious security threat to the region. According to Jin10, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced late on March 27 that it had been informed by Iran of the attack, marking the third such incident at the Bushehr plant in ten days. Iran's report indicated that the operational reactor was not damaged, and no radiation leaks occurred. The IAEA Director General, Rafael Grossi, urged all parties to exercise maximum military restraint to avoid the risk of a nuclear accident.
