Likhachev warns of worsening situation at Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant

Russian outlets describe the worsening situation at Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant as a direct result of strikes near the facility, arguing that the reactor is now under threat. They present Russia as acting responsibly by cutting staff numbers on site and boosting radiation monitoring at home, while warning that further attacks could trigger a cross‑border nuclear safety crisis. They also highlight strikes on Iranian energy sites like Tabriz to show that Iran's civilian infrastructure is being put at risk.

• •Russian officials warn that a recent strike near Bushehr created a threat to the reactor itself.
• •Rosatom is withdrawing most of its personnel from Bushehr, leaving only a few dozen employees to reduce risk to Russian staff.
• •Russian authorities have increased radiation monitoring across Russia in response to the strikes on Iranian territory.
• •Russian coverage links the Bushehr danger to wider attacks on Iranian energy facilities, including the petrochemical plant in Tabriz.
• •Russian commentators argue that those carrying out the strikes bear responsibility for any cross‑border nuclear contamination.
