⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s statement regarding reports of renewed strikes on the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (April 4, 2026)
We are receiving with mounting alarm reports of renewed missile strikes on the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant on April 4. We are reviewing the incoming reports.
❗️We strongly condemn this atrocity, which has resulted in loss of life.
We extend our condolences over the death of one of the plants’s employees who, according to available information, was responsible for ensuring its physical security.
We have taken note of the deep concern expressed by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi over this attack. He stressed, in particular, that NPPs themselves, as well as the surrounding areas where vital nuclear safety systems may be located, must never become targets of military strikes.
It is clear that his words are addressed to the aggressors, who continue, with reckless disregard and even a certain morbid zeal, to launch direct attacks on Iran’s nuclear energy infrastructure, which is subject to the NPT and Iran’s Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement with the IAEA.
These illegal and reckless actions are an indelible stain on the international reputation of those who direct missiles at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant and other Iranian nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards, and who give the order to strike them. In effect, they have completely destroyed whatever standing they once claimed in the field of nuclear non-proliferation, as well as nuclear safety and nuclear security, thereby making clear that they themselves recognise no rules or restraints.
❗️ We expect that the damage inflicted on the NPT regime by the US and Israeli strikes will be subjected to an impartial and rigorous assessment at the NPT Review Conference opening on April 27.
For its part, Russia is doing everything possible to draw the attention of the international community and the wider global public to the fact that the situation around the Bushehr NPP is moving ever closer to a dangerous line.
The worst can still be avoided. But for that to happen, strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran, including the Bushehr NPP, must cease immediately.
