The Russian Foreign Ministry announced the risk of a radiological disaster due to the attacks on the Bushehr nuclear power plant

Against the background of the escalation of the conflict between the United States and Israel and Iran, a radiological catastrophe may occur in the Persian Gulf region, which will be more devastating than what happened in Chernobyl. This was announced on March 6 by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).

"Of particular concern are the increasing reckless attacks on the Bushehr nuclear power plant, which have resulted in human casualties. The shadow of a radiological catastrophe, more devastating than Chernobyl, hangs over the Persian Gulf region and the adjacent part of Eurasia," the ministry said in a statement on its website.
