The Russian Foreign Ministry called for an immediate end to strikes on the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran.

The attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities must be stopped immediately. This was announced on April 4 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in a comment published on the agency's website.

"The worst can still be avoided, but for this, attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran, including the Bushehr nuclear power plant, must be stopped immediately," the statement said.

The diplomat noted that Russia strongly condemns this act of aggression and expresses its condolences to the deceased employee of the station. She stressed that the Russian side is making every effort to involve the world community in the situation around Bushehr.

"These illegal and reckless actions are an indelible dirty stain on the international reputation of those who aim missiles at the Bushehr NPP," Zakharova added.
