Buenos Aires, March 24 (NA) — Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant was not damaged in an attack, the UN nuclear watchdog reported late Tuesday local time. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a social media post that Iran had informed it that another projectile hit the Bushehr nuclear power plant facilities on Tuesday. According to Iran, the plant suffered no damage and there were no injuries to staff, and the plant is operating normally, CBS News reported and learned the Argentine News Agency. Bushehr was attacked last week, but Iran also informed the IAEA at that time that there were no casualties or damage. The IAEA reported on Tuesday that its Director General, Rafael Mariano Grossi, 'reiterates' the 'call for maximum restraint to avoid nuclear safety risks during a conflict'. Bushehr, Iran's only commercial nuclear power plant, is located about 750 kilometers south of Tehran. Construction of the plant began under the rule of Iran's Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, in the mid-1970s.
