MOSCOW, March 28 - The situation ⁠at ⁠Iran's Bushehr nuclear ⁠power plant continues to deteriorate and ​attacks pose a direct threat to nuclear safety, the ‌head of Russia's state ‌nuclear corporation Rosatom said on Saturday ⁠after ⁠another strike near the facility.

The International Atomic Energy Agency ​said on Friday that Iran had informed it of another strike in the vicinity of Bushehr, ​the third such incident in 10 days, with ⁠no damage ⁠to the operating ⁠reactor ​and no release of radiation reported.

The Russian Foreign Ministry ​on Saturday called ⁠for "unequivocal and firm condemnation" of the attack near Bushehr.

"We hope that, by receiving timely and objective information directly from the Iranian authorities ⁠about what is happening on the ground, the Director ⁠General of the IAEA will be able to convey a simple message to the aggressors immediately and unequivocally: ‘It is time for you to stop!'," its spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement.
