Iran’s Darakhwin nuclear plant struck by U.S. missiles

The United States launched a missile attack on the Darakhwin nuclear power plant under construction in Khuzestan province, Iran. Iranian officials described the strike as a terrorist act that violated international law and the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization condemned the aggression, emphasizing that the site is a peaceful civilian project under full IAEA oversight.

Iran’s armed forces warned of a “decisive and devastating” response, reaffirming their readiness to defend national sovereignty. The incident follows U.S. concerns over Iran’s advancing missile capabilities and reflects heightened tensions between the two nations, with both sides trading threats of further military action.
