Iranian Media Reports New US-Israeli Strike Near Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant

Bushehr: A new US-Israeli strike hit near Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant on Tuesday evening, the state news agency IRNA reported.

According to Anadolu Agency, IRNA, citing Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, said a projectile struck the area of the nuclear facility in the southern city of Bushehr at around 9:08 p.m (17:38 GMT). The agency described the attack as part of continued 'hostile actions' by the US and Israel.

Initial reports indicated that no casualties or damage were reported, and all sections of the nuclear facility remain intact. This attack was the second near the nuclear facility in recent days, following a similar incident on March 17, which also resulted in no damage or injuries.

The US and Israel have maintained airstrikes on Iran since February 28, resulting in the deaths of over 1,340 people, including the then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In response, Tehran has launched drone and missile strikes targeting Israel and several countries hosting US military assets, including Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf nations. These retaliatory actions have caused casualties, damage to infrastructure, and disruptions in global markets and aviation.
