Kremlin says strikes near Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran 'extremely dangerous'

US-Israeli attacks near the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran are extremely dangerous and Russia has shared its concerns with the United States, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.

Such strikes could have irreparable consequences, Mr Peskov said.

"We believe that strikes on nuclear facilities are potentially extremely dangerous. Therefore, the Russian side, taking an extremely responsible stance on this issue, has repeatedly voiced its concerns," he added.

On 17 March, the Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom said that a strike carried out "on the territory adjacent to the building of the metrological service, located on the site of the Bushehr nuclear power plant, in close proximity to the operating power unit."
