The area around Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant has been attacked for the fourth time during the current war, Iranian officials say, as the US and Israel continue to target energy and other industrial sites.
One of the plant's employees was killed in the attack, Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation said. It blamed the US and Israel for the attack, but neither country has confirmed carrying it out.
Bushehr is Iran's only operational nuclear power plant and was completed with Russia's help.
The International Atomic Energy Agency - the UN's nuclear watchdog - said it had been informed of the strike and had expressed 'deep concern'.
'No increase in radiation levels was reported,' it wrote on X, adding that nuclear power plant sites and their vicinity 'must never be attacked' and calling for 'maximum military restraint' to prevent a nuclear incident.
US President Donald Trump announced a temporary cessation of attacks on energy plants, urging Iran to negotiate. However, he reiterated threats to take drastic action if Iran failed to comply.
Iran continues to retaliate, launching missiles at targets in the Gulf States and engaging in exchanges that have resulted in collateral damage.
Meanwhile, the situation remains tense as both Iranian and US forces search for a missing American crew member following the downing of an F-15 jet. Reports indicate that while the main operations at Bushehr remain unscathed, the ongoing conflict raises concerns over the general safety and security of nuclear facilities in the region.
