The Iran Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) on Sunday accused the United States of striking the Darkhovin nuclear power plant, which is under construction in Khuzestan province. In a statement posted on X by security analyst Yair Goldblatt (N12), the AEOI said the attack occurred at 03:39 local time on July 28, calling it 'brutal and merciless' and a violation of international law. The plant is not yet operational. The claim, which was also reported by ynet, remains unverified by independent sources. The strike would be the latest in a series of reported US attacks on Iranian nuclear infrastructure, including the Khondab and Bushehr facilities, as The Zioneer has previously covered.
