International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi has reiterated his concern about strikes on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant, warning that since it is an operating plant containing nuclear material, “damage to the facility could result in a major radiological accident affecting a large area in Iran and beyond”.
Grossi has once again called for maximum restraint to avoid the risk of such an accident and stressed the importance of “observing the 7 pillars for ensuring nuclear safety and security during a conflict”.
