The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Monday that ongoing military activity near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant could cause a “severe radiological accident” with potential consequences beyond the country’s borders.
On Sunday, a projectile hit an area near the power plant – often referred to as BNPP – marking the fourth time the site has been targeted since the war began, according to Iranian state media agency Tasnim.
Based on independent analysis, the IAEA confirmed that strikes had recently hit close to the plant, including one just 75 metres from the site’s perimeter. The agency said the power plant itself had not been damaged.
