IAEA confirms impact of recent strikes near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant

The International Atomic Energy Agency says it can confirm recent impacts of military strikes close to Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant, but adds that the plant itself was not damaged.

The UN atomic watchdog says that the confirmation was based on its independent analysis of new satellite imagery and detailed knowledge of the site, adding that one strike had hit only 75 meters (246 feet) from the site perimeter.

Last week, the agency said it had been informed by Iran about a projectile striking close to the premises of the Bushehr nuclear power plant.
