The situation at Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant continues to deteriorate, and attacks on it pose a direct threat to nuclear security, said the head of the Russian state nuclear company Rosatom on Saturday after another attack near this facility. TASR informs about it according to a Reuters report.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced on Friday that Iran had informed it of another attack near Bushehr. This is the third such incident in the past ten days. No damage or release of radioactivity was reported in the area.
“We hope that with timely and objective information directly from the Iranian authorities about what is happening on the ground, the IAEA Director General will be able to immediately and unequivocally send a simple message to the aggressors: “It’s time for you to stop!”,Marija Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in a statement.
The head of Rosatom, Alexey Likachev, informed that they evacuated 163 of their workers from Búšehr and two other groups will leave the power plant in the coming days.
