The US-Israel-Iran conflict has escalated with a projectile hitting Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant, prompting concerns of a major radiological incident. The incident is the third in 10 days, and the IAEA has called for maximum military restraint to avoid a nuclear accident.
A projectile has hit Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant, the UN nuclear watchdog has reported. The incident has raised concerns of a major radiological incident if the reactor is damaged. The plant operates a pressurised-water reactor capable of producing up to 1,000 megawatts of electricity. Meanwhile, an Iranian missile strike injured at least 12 US troops and damaged multiple aircraft at a military base in Saudi Arabia. The conflict has also affected oil prices, with Brent crude jumping 4% to settle above $112 per barrel. The UAE has reported fires at an industrial zone following a missile and drone attack from Iran, leaving five people injured.
