Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reports that Israeli and United States forces conducted four separate strikes against the Bushehr nuclear power facility. Araghchi contrasted the international response to these four incidents with the Western diplomatic outrage triggered by military hostilities near Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
The minister warned that radioactive fallout resulting from these four attacks poses a lethal threat to residents in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) capitals. According to Araghchi, the environmental impact of such contamination would devastate these regional hubs more severely than the city of Tehran.
