Loading ...Russia Evacuates Hundreds Of Its Specialists From Iran’s Nuclear Bushehr Complex After Missile Strike
Russia has lodged formal protest with Israel following its reported strikes near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear facility, angrily warning that the attacks directly endangered Russian personnel on the ground.
The Kremlin made clear to Israel that Russian nationals working in and around the facility were put at risk. Russian state media described the communication delivered to Israel via the Russian embassy “official demands” – which indicates a formal escalation in diplomatic pressure. Even more provocative is that reports indicate Israeli strikes may have directly targeted residential quarters housing a Russian nuclear expert.
“Attacks on nuclear facilities blatantly violate the key rules and principles of international security,” Likhachev emphasized.
