Russia slams second US-Israeli strike at Iran’s Bushehr nuclear reactor

Russia's foreign ministry accused the United States and Israel of attempting to provoke a nuclear disaster following a strike on Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactor, marking the second such attack on the facility. The accusation reflects escalating tensions over military strikes targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure, a sensitive issue given the potential risks to civilian populations and regional stability. Bushehr is one of Iran's major nuclear installations, and repeated strikes raise concerns about potential radiation release or broader conflict escalation in the Middle East. Russia, which has maintained closer ties to Iran, has positioned itself as a critic of these operations, using language that emphasizes the humanitarian and environmental dangers. The incident underscores the ongoing military dimension of the US-Israel-Iran conflict despite international concerns about nuclear safety.
