Russia Withdraws Almost All Staff From Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Plant
Russia said 108 workers were evacuated and 20 remained to oversee equipment safety as airstrike threats mounted around the plant.
- On Monday, Russia withdrew almost all staff from Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant, evacuating 108 workers while leaving 20 managers responsible for equipment safety.
- Airstrike threats prompted Moscow to initiate the withdrawal, as the facility has been struck at least four times during the ongoing US-Israeli war.
- The Bushehr site houses a 1,000-megawatt reactor; Moscow warned that continued strikes risk a "radiological disaster more devastating than Chernobyl."
- Separately, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Monday that President Putin's offer to host Iran's enriched uranium remains open, though it has not been acted upon.
- Peskov cautioned that ongoing conflict will "negatively impact the international market," while the Kremlin also criticized threats to blockade the vital Strait of Hormuz.
