Iran warns of nuclear safety risks after US forces target an unfinished IAEA-safeguarded facility in Khuzestan province.
The United States launched multiple missiles at an Iranian nuclear power plant still under construction in Khuzestan province, according to Iran’s UN ambassador. The facility is subject to International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards and is described as exclusively peaceful and transparent.
Iran’s ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani stated the strike poses a nuclear safety risk, though no immediate damage or operational disruption was reported. The plant has no active nuclear material, per prior IAEA inspections.
Markets showed limited reaction, with oil futures edging higher on supply disruption concerns amid heightened regional tensions.
