Attack on Bushehr nuclear power plant will destroy life in the capitals of Persian Gulf countries, not in Tehran: Araghchi
The Iranian foreign minister said that "radioactive fallout will end life in GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) capitals, not Tehran," following the US-Israeli air strikes that hit Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant.
"Remember the Western outrage about hostilities near Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine?
"Israel-US have bombed our Bushehr plant four times now. Radioactive fallout will end life in GCC capitals, not Tehran," Abbas Araghchi said through US social media company X on Saturday.
Earlier in the day, US and Israeli strikes hit Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant, killing one person.
The attack came as regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on February 28, killing over 1,340 people to date, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
