Repeated strikes near Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactor raise specter of radioactive disaster in the Gulf

Force in Play

Overseeing final evacuation of Russian staff from Bushehr

A projectile struck 350 meters from Iran's only operating nuclear reactor on April 4, killing a security guard and damaging an auxiliary building — the fourth time ordnance has landed on or near the Bushehr nuclear power plant since the United States and Israel began striking Iran on February 28. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed no radiation increase was detected, but Director General Rafael Grossi warned that auxiliary buildings may house vital safety equipment and that nuclear plant sites "must never be attacked."
