IAEA Reports Projectile Hit Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Plant

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed Wednesday that Iranian authorities reported a projectile impact at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant on Tuesday evening. The Vienna-based agency stated the projectile caused no damage to the plant or injuries to staff. Agency head Rafael Grossi reiterated calls for restraint during the conflict to prevent nuclear accidents. The Bushehr plant is Iran's only operational nuclear reactor, connected to the grid since 2011. Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful despite US sanctions since 2018. This incident highlights ongoing regional tensions affecting global nuclear safety infrastructure.
