Playing a High-Stakes Gamble with Bushehr’s Nuclear Future

Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant is being put in the crosshairs by the US and Israel, a potentially catastrophic move that could unleash devastating environmental consequences, according to Abas Aslani, a senior research fellow at the Center for Middle East Strategic Studies.

Targeting the facility could have far-reaching repercussions for the local population, Aslani warned, as it is an integral part of Iran’s energy grid. By focusing on civilian infrastructure rather than a military target, the US is, in Aslani’s view, violating international law and courting disaster, including the very real risk of a nuclear catastrophe.
