On March 24, the IAEA reported on X that Iran had informed the agency “that another projectile hit the premises of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant today. According to Iran, there was no damage to the NPP itself nor injuries to staff, and the condition of the plant is normal.” IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, it said, “reiterates [his] call for maximum restraint to avoid nuclear safety risks during conflict.”
