Bushehr: The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization announced that the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant was struck by a projectile, marking the third attack on the facility. Fortunately, there were no casualties or damage reported from this latest incident.

According to Anadolu Agency, the organization detailed that the projectile landed at the site at 12:40 PM on Friday. Despite the severity of the situation, the organization confirmed on US social media platform X that there were no casualties or financial and technical damage at the facility.

The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization has attributed the attacks to what it calls the ‘criminal American-Zionist enemy’. They emphasized the peaceful nature of the Bushehr plant, which is integral to Iran’s civilian energy program. The organization condemned the attacks as a blatant violation of international law and a significant threat to regional security.

The details surrounding the type of projectile used and its precise impact remain undisclosed. However, the attack highlights ongoing tensions in the region, as the Bushehr plant is Iran’s only operational nuclear power facility.

Tensions have been rising since a joint offensive by the US and Israel against Iran on February 28. Iran has since launched retaliatory drone and missile strikes against Israel and various other regional targets, including Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf nations hosting US military assets. These counterattacks have resulted in casualties, infrastructure damage, and have disrupted global markets and aviation.
