Iran accuses US of striking near Bushehr nuclear power plant
There have been reports of explosions at several locations in Iran, including Bushehr where Iran's nuclear power plant complex is located.
"Several areas in Bushehr province were targeted today, including the perimeter of the nuclear power plant, a military base in the town of Choghadak and a fishing pier in the south of the province," Iranian state media quoted Ehsan Jahanian, the deputy governor of Bushehr province, as saying.
He added that there were no reports of casualties so far. ALSO READ: Iran buries former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
IRNA news agency quoted Jahanian as saying that the US strike near the nuclear facility happened around noon, hours after the US military said it had ended its latest round of strikes on Iran.
In April, the UN's nuclear watchdog warned that attacks near the plant "pose a very real danger to nuclear safety and must stop."
Non-profit monitor ACLED has reported four strikes near the nuclear facility during the Iran war.
