Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned of a serious risk of radioactive contamination following U.S.-Israeli strikes near the Bushehr nuclear power plant amid escalating conflict. He criticised Western “double standards,” noting global concern over similar attacks elsewhere but limited reaction to strikes on Iran. A projectile reportedly hit near the facility, killing a security personnel member and damaging an auxiliary building, though core operations remain unaffected. Araghchi cautioned that any radiation leak could impact Gulf nations, highlighting the regional danger. International agencies have expressed concern, even as no radiation increase has yet been detected. (PC: X)
