Iran Accuses US of Illegal Attack on Nuclear Plant Site

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Iran's nuclear agency has condemned a reported US strike on the site of a nuclear power plant under construction in Darkhovin, calling it a violation of international law. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran made the statement through the semi-official Mehr news agency on Sunday, though it did not specify when the attack occurred. The Darkhovin plant, located in Iran's southwestern Khuzestan province, began construction in 2022. The facility is intended to be a nuclear power station, but its development has faced international scrutiny due to concerns over Iran's nuclear program. The US has not officially commented on the alleged strike. The incident adds to long-standing tensions between Washington and Tehran, particularly over Iran's nuclear activities. The United States and its allies have previously imposed sanctions on Iran and carried out actions aimed at limiting its nuclear capabilities. Iran's atomic agency stated that the strike undermines peace and security. It did not provide details on damage or casualties. The claim has not been independently verified. The development comes amid broader disputes, including Iran's enrichment activities and ongoing negotiations over its nuclear program. The situation remains under observation by international bodies.
