London [UK], March 27 (ANI): International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi reiterated deep concern about recent military strikes reportedly near Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, including an incident on Tuesday evening. Grossi warned that, as an operating nuclear power plant containing a large amount of nuclear material, damage to Bushehr could cause a major radiological accident affecting a wide area in Iran and beyond. He called for maximum restraint to avoid such a risk and stressed the importance of observing the IAEA’s seven pillars for ensuring nuclear safety and security during a conflict.
An analysis by the Institute for the Study of War said combined forces have continued striking Iranian missile forces and launchers, as well as missile storage and production facilities. The think tank reported intensified strikes on Iran’s defense industrial base and likely hits on the 7th Artesh Air Force Tactical Airbase in Shiraz, Fars Province. It also cited reported strikes on the IRGC Ground Forces Ansar ol Hossein Provincial Unit in Hamedan and an IRGC headquarters near Bonab in East Azerbaijan Province.
Using satellite imagery from March 15, the think tank assessed significant damage to Iranian naval and air infrastructure at the IRGC 4th Sarallah Naval District in Bushehr Province. That district controls the central Persian Gulf, including the South Pars gas field.
Iran continued retaliatory operations. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it executed wave 83 of Operation True Promise 4 early Friday, striking what it described as key American and Israeli military installations in the region with missiles and drones. The IRGC statement said targets included storage tanks and an oil depot in Ashdod, a military personnel site in Modi’in, and a US military information exchange center. It also named US bases Al-Dhafra and Al-Udeiri, maintenance and storage hangars for transport aircraft and drones at Ali Al-Salem Air Base, fuel tanks for jets and fighters, and a Patriot missile system maintenance hangar at Sheikh Isa Base.
