Russia continued the evacuation of its employees from Iran's Bushehr nuclear facility amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
According to the official Russian news agency, 163 additional staff members of the state-owned company Rosatom were evacuated on Wednesday.
Despite this operation, approximately 300 Russian employees still remain on site, although further departures are planned in the coming days.
This decision illustrates growing concerns about the security of strategic installations in the region, as the conflict involving Iran intensifies.
The Bushehr nuclear power plant, built with Russian assistance, is a key site for Iran's civilian nuclear program.
The partial evacuation of personnel underlines the potential risks to sensitive infrastructure in the event of a military escalation.
It also reflects Moscow's caution, which seeks to protect its citizens while maintaining a presence at a strategic site.
In this context, the situation around nuclear facilities remains under close scrutiny by the international community.
