Araghchi: Strikes on nuclear facilities could lead to severe environmental consequences

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has sent letters to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the UN Security Council regarding US and Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

According to Report, the letter was published on the minister's Telegram channel.

Araghchi stated that the strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran's nuclear sites could result in severe humanitarian and environmental consequences.

"Attacks on Iran's nuclear power plant in Bushehr, intended solely for peaceful purposes under IAEA supervision, expose the entire region to a serious threat of radioactive contamination with grave humanitarian and environmental consequences, and therefore must not go unanswered or uninvestigated," the document says.

According to Araghchi, within less than nine months, Iran has been subjected to two wars imposed by the United States and Israel. "In both cases, Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities were attacked and bombed," he emphasized.

The Iranian foreign minister also published a list of facilities targeted since the escalation began:

The letter also notes that such attacks constitute a clear violation of UN Security Council Resolution 487 (1981), as well as all decisions and resolutions of the IAEA.
