A heightened US strike on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear facility could unleash a radioactive fallout that would imperil the Gulf states on the opposite side of the Persian Gulf, according to a Middle East expert and former US negotiator.
Alan Eyre, a seasoned diplomat and distinguished fellow at the Middle East Institute, cautioned that a nuclear disaster or radioactive leak at Bushehr would have devastating consequences for the region’s countries.
Eyre, who played a key role in negotiating the 2015 nuclear agreement, pointed out that the prevailing wind and tidal patterns in the Gulf would likely carry radioactive particles westward, away from Iran, but warned that the impact on water desalination facilities would be severe.
While studies suggest that the concentration of radioactive material might not be as lethal as the Chernobyl disaster, Eyre emphasized that the threat of radioactive contamination in the water poses a significant risk to the Gulf states’ water supply.
The reliance of these countries on desalination plants to provide their water makes them particularly vulnerable to the consequences of radioactive contamination, according to Eyre.
