Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)

Rosatom, the Russian operator of the Bushehr nuclear power plant in western Iran, has evacuated 163 more of its staff, saying the situation at the facility continues to deteriorate.

On March 27, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that Tehran had informed it of another strike that targeted the area near Bushehr. The attack made it the third such incident in the past 10 days.

While no damage to the operating reactor and no release of radiation were reported, the Russian Foreign Ministry called for "unequivocal and firm condemnation" of the attack near the power plant.

"We hope that... the Director General of the IAEA will be able to convey a simple message to the aggressors immediately and unequivocally: 'It is time for you to stop!'," Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement.

The Russian-built Bushehr plant, on the Gulf coast, is Iran's sole nuclear power plant; it is fueled by uranium produced in Russia, not Iran, and is monitored by the IAEA. Russia has already evacuated some staff, but hundreds remain.
