Russia warns that attacking Iran's nuclear facilities would be "irreversible consequences" for the US.

According to the Russian news agency Today, Russian President's press secretary Peskov told the media on the 23rd that Russia has issued a security warning to the US regarding the situation around the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran: attacks on nuclear facilities have "potential" extreme danger and will lead to "irreversible consequences." Peskov said that the Bushehr nuclear power plant is a nuclear facility regulated by the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Russia is in close dialogue with the International Atomic Energy Agency on relevant issues. Peskov also stated that only through political and diplomatic means can the "disastrous" tension in the Middle East be effectively alleviated. The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization announced on the 17th that around 19:00 local time that day, a projectile hit the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran, causing no economic or technical damage to the nuclear power plant facilities and no casualties.
