Iran Condemns U.S. Strike on Darkhovin Nuclear Plant
The agency said the unfinished facility contained no nuclear material and posed no immediate radiological risk.
- On Sunday, the United States struck the Darkhovin Nuclear Power Plant construction site in southwestern Iran. The IAEA confirmed the facility is in early construction stages and contained no nuclear material when last visited.
- Washington launched these strikes after two U.S. service members were killed in Jordan on Friday, marking the first American deaths since renewed hostilities began. The interim ceasefire deal collapsed last week, intensifying the conflict.
- Retaliating against American positions, Iran's army launched "large-scale attacks with kamikaze drones" against U.S. assets in Kuwait, targeting the ammunition depot at Camp Udairi and radar systems at Ali Al Salem Air Base.
- Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned of "unforgettable lessons" if U.S. attacks continue, dismissing President Donald Trump's signature as "utterly worthless and devoid of credibility." The statement warned of "even heavier costs and further humiliation."
- The collapse of the ceasefire raises fears of a return to all-out war, intensifying the battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz while disrupting energy supplies. The conflict threatens global stability and inflation.
