IAEA Confirms Impact of Recent Strikes Near Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant

April 6 (Reuters) – The ⁠International ⁠Atomic Energy ⁠Agency on Monday ​said it can confirm ‌recent impacts of military ‌strikes ⁠close ⁠to Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant, but ​said that the plant itself was not ​damaged.

The UN atomic watchdog said ⁠that ⁠the confirmation was ⁠based ​on its independent analysis of ​new satellite ⁠imagery and detailed knowledge of the site, adding that ⁠one strike had hit only 75 metres ⁠from the site perimeter.

Last week the agency had said it had been informed by Iran about a projectile striking close to ⁠the premises of the Bushehr nuclear power plant.
