BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 4. Any radiation at
Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant can destroy the capitals of the
Gulf Cooperation Council member states instead of Tehran, Iranian
Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi wrote on his X page, Trend reports.
According to him, the U.S. and Israel have bombed the Bushehr
NPP four times so far.
Aragchi said that attacks on Iran's petrochemical infrastructure
also show the goals of the opposing sides.
A missile hit the Bushehr NPP today, amid U.S. and Israeli
airstrikes against Iran. As a result, one of the plant's guards was
killed.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military
operations against Iran, striking major cities, including Tehran.
The White House cited missile and nuclear threats originating from
the Islamic Republic as justification for the attacks. The strikes
reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
along with several other senior officials. In response, Iran’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a large-scale
retaliatory operation against Israel and has targeted U.S.
facilities across Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE,
Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria using ballistic missiles, cruise
missiles, and drones.
The conflict has placed the region’s energy infrastructure and
maritime shipping under serious threat. Due to security tensions in
the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices have risen significantly.
Iran fully controls the Strait of Hormuz and allows passage only to
vessels it deems necessary.
