US-Israeli strike on Bushehr nuclear plant kills one; Iran warns against attacks on diplomatic missions

A United States and Israeli strike has hit near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant, killing at least one person, according to Iranian media reports. Officials said the victim was a security guard, while a nearby building sustained damage from the blast.

Authorities added that the main sections of the nuclear facility were not affected and operations continue as normal. The International Atomic Energy Agency also reported no increase in radiation levels following the strike, easing immediate concerns over nuclear safety.

Iran strongly condemned the attack and warned against any strikes on diplomatic missions or sensitive infrastructure, calling such actions a serious escalation. Officials cautioned that targeting protected sites could widen the conflict and trigger further retaliation.

Analysts say the incident marks a dangerous escalation, as nuclear-linked facilities are increasingly drawn into the conflict. The development has heightened international concern over the risk of broader instability and the potential consequences for regional and global security.
