The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) revealed on Monday that military strikes occurred near Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant, though fortunately, the facility itself sustained no damage.

This conclusion is drawn from the agency's independent analysis of new satellite images and comprehensive site expertise. Notably, one strike was alarmingly close, striking a location just 75 meters from the plant's boundary.

Previously, the IAEA reported receiving information from Iran regarding a projectile's impact near the Bushehr plant's premises last week.
