UN watchdog voices 'deep concern' as Iran reports new attacks on nuclear plant
AI Summary
Iran reports that its Bushehr nuclear power plant, its only operational nuclear plant, has been attacked for the fourth time during the ongoing US-Israeli war with Iran, resulting in one employee's death. The Iranian Atomic Energy Organisation blames the US and Israel for the attack, though neither country has confirmed involvement. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expressed "deep concern" and emphasized that nuclear facilities should never be targeted, urging military restraint to prevent a nuclear accident. While Iran claims the main parts of the plant are undamaged and operations unaffected, Russia has begun evacuating its staff from the facility. The US President has threatened further action if Iran does not comply with demands. The conflict began shortly after indirect US-Iran nuclear talks.
