He reported this Tuesday that Iran has informed him of an attack against the Bushehr nuclear power plant, on the country’s southern coast, which is operated jointly with , which has also denounced the attack.
“Iran has informed the IAEA that a projectile has hit the Bushehr nuclear power plant facilities on Tuesday night,” the agency said in a message on social media, in which it confirmed that no damage to the facilities or injured workers has been reported as a result of the attack.
As a result of the attack, the director general of the atomic organization, , has called for “maximum moderation” to avoid the risk of a nuclear accident during the conflict opened by the attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran, which have been responded to with the launch of drones and missiles to several countries in the region by the Islamic Republic.
The director of the Russian nuclear operator Rosatom, Alexei Lijachev, has also reported the attack against the nuclear power plant, which has not caused any injuries to the Russian workers located there, as he noted in statements reported by the Russian news agency. “Preparations are being made for the third evacuation of personnel from the Bushehr plant,” added Lijachev, who specified that approximately 480 Russian citizens remain at the site.
The general director of Rosatom already warned that this nuclear facility was “under threat” at the beginning of the war in the Middle East, when he urged the parties to “protect the facilities.”
The offensive by the United States and Israel has left 3,000 dead in Iran to date, according to the Iranian Human Rights NGO Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRA), while Iranian authorities put the death toll at 1,200.

Washington, in search of the missiles
The US Army, in these hours, has claimed to have launched bunker-busting bombs weighing more than two tons against alleged Iranian missile storage facilities near the .
He has indicated that his troops “successfully employed multiple deep-penetrating munitions and 5,000 pounds (about 2.3 tons) against hardened missile sites along the coast of Iran near the Strait of Hormuz.” “Those in these locations represented a risk for international maritime transport in the strait,” he noted in a message on his social networks, without giving more details or specifying whether these attacks would have resulted in victims.
CENTCOM seems to be referring in this way to the use of the GBU-72 bombs, a bunker-busting munition of around 2.3 tons that can be launched by various United States Air Force aircraft, although for now there is no official confirmation about the type of weaponry used in the attack.
In recent days, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has claimed responsibility for several attacks against ships in the Strait of Hormuz, within the framework of its response to the aforementioned offensive against the Asian country, which has also attacked Israeli territory.
The ayatollahs tighten
In this context, the Tehran regime is squeezing opponents. The people have not risen, because the context of war and siege prevents it, along with the certain reprisals by the clerics. But, since dissidence is underlying, the religious are going after it even in their moment of .
For example, this Wednesday the authorities executed a man sentenced to death on charges of espionage for Israel, to whose Intelligence he had provided, according to the Islamic Republic, “information about sensitive areas” of the Central Asian country.
This is Kurosh Keivani, a man arrested by the Revolutionary Guard in Savjbolagh county, near the Iranian capital, Tehran, on June 16, 2025, in the midst of the offensive then launched by Israel and supported by the United States. Then, 30,000 euros in cash, a truck, a motorcycle and various espionage, intelligence and satellite communications devices and equipment were seized from him, according to the semi-official Iranian agency Tasnim, close to the .
Keivani would have been identified by the Israeli foreign intelligence service, the Mossad, through the Internet and, establishing an alleged “intimate communication”, he would have learned personal information such as his interests, family ties, economic situation and financial problems, Tasnim has indicated, citing the file, which points to a series of periodic payments from an alleged in-person meeting.
This meeting would have marked the beginning of two years of training in six European countries and in Israel, where, according to the official version, he arrived “with an Israeli passport and identity documents.”
After his alleged preparation, Keivani entered Iran, where he would have carried out a series of missions, such as delivering money to Mossad agents, documenting areas of the country described by Tehran as sensitive, and placing electronic devices in locations specified by the Israeli agency.
Of these alleged activities, the Iranian authorities maintain that they have obtained files, videos and emails, according to information from Tasnim. The agency also reports the discovery of devices to interfere with missile launch systems and defense radars or to guide and reinforce the guidance of Israeli drones, tools that would have been in the possession of the convicted man when Iran was, as at present, immersed in an offensive.
Beyond the Keivani case, more than 70 people have been arrested in the country for their relationship with “terrorist groups”, linked to the opposition and related to the monarchy in the province of Elburz, in the north of the country. The Intelligence agency of the Revolutionary Guard in the province of Elburz has announced the arrest of 75 people for their alleged links with “terrorist” groups, opponents and supporters of the monarchy, as reported by the semi-official Iranian agency, close to this military body.
According to this information, some of those detained are accused of having burned images and insulted the late Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, who died during the first day of the US and Israeli offensive against the Islamic Republic. “Instigators” on social networks and members of a group of hackers who connected to the Internet through have also been arrested.
These new arrests are in addition to those on Tuesday, when Iranian authorities announced the arrest of ten foreigners for alleged espionage work in the northeast of the country, before stating that several of them were planning to carry out attacks.
