Iran: Bushehr nuclear plant hit four times in US-Israeli strikes
Shafaq News- Tehran
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday accused the United States and Israel of striking the Bushehr nuclear power plant, saying the facility was hit “four times now.”
On X, Araghchi argued that attacks on petrochemical sites inside Iran reveal what he described as the war’s “real objectives,” warning that “radioactive fallout will end life in GCC capitals, not Tehran.”

Radioactive fallout will end life in GCC capitals, not Tehran.Attacks on our petrochemicals also convey real objectives. pic.twitter.com/onGCgkJFjt
