Bushehr governor says US missile struck power station near nuclear plant on Wednesday

The governor of Iran's Bushehr province stated that a power station adjacent to the Bushehr nuclear power plant was hit by an American missile on Wednesday. The claim is single-sourced and unverified.

The governor's statement emerged shortly after security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported that Iran was claiming the strike, as The Zioneer noted at 01:12. The claim has not been independently verified, and no US confirmation has been issued. The Bushehr nuclear plant has been the subject of multiple unverified reports of US strikes in recent weeks, as The Zioneer has covered. The Wednesday incident, if confirmed, would be the first reported strike on a power station adjacent to the facility.
