MOSCOW, Russia — The situation at Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant continues to deteriorate, and attacks pose a direct threat to nuclear safety, the head of Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom says after another strike near the facility.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said yesterday that Iran had informed it of another strike in the vicinity of Bushehr, the third such incident in 10 days, with no damage to the operating reactor and no release of radiation reported.
