The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran announced that it had carried out an attack on the construction site of the Darhovin Nuclear Power Plant under construction in the Khuzestan province of the USA. The statement noted that the attack targeted the facility under construction, but did not share details on casualties or the extent of damage.

TENSION MOVES TO NUCLEAR FACILITIES

The Darkhoin facility is among Iran's long-term civil nuclear energy projects and is still under construction. In recent days, reports have been coming in consecutively that the USA has carried out attacks on various military and energy infrastructures in Iran, and that Iran has retaliated accordingly.

GROWING CONCERN OVER NUCLEAR FACILITIES

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had recently warned that targeting nuclear facilities in Iran could pose a serious risk to nuclear safety. The agency previously stated that a munition hitting the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant site did not cause any radiological damage.

NO STATEMENT YET FROM THE USA

The US administration has not yet made an official statement regarding Iran's claim of an attack on the Darhovin Nuclear Power Plant. The claim has not been confirmed by independent sources either.
