(Perhaps out of a sense of misplaced expectations that reason will prevail) I’m going to go ahead and assume that the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant is not included in this. The White House needs to explicitly state that BNPP is off the table as a target for both the US and Israel. The Bushehr NPP poses no proliferation threat and (not that it should matter) accounts for only less than 2% of Iran’s energy production. Attacking a nuclear power plant is a war crime, prohibited explicitly under the Geneva Conventions, if significant harm to civilians can reasonably be expected (which is hard to rule out in any instance, including here). NPPs rely on external power supply for safe operation. So attacking non-nuclear Iranian energy infrastructure could still pose serious nuclear safety risks, depending on what’s targeted. Attacks on the BNPP or its auxiliary infrastructure could have catastrophic health and environmental consequences for the whole region. Even threatening or implying that the BNPP could be targeted (including by failing to make explicit that it will not be) runs a high risk of dangerous escalation, panic and reciprocal threats (against, for instance, the UAE’s Barakah NPP).

‘The cases we do see tend to be small and overhyped and generally involve natural, depleted or only slightly enriched uranium, not weapons-grade material’—Robert Kelley, nuclear expert and SIPRI Associate Fellow, puts risks into perspective in this Q&A ➡️ bit.ly/43PzO2D

Russia wants to restart the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe occupied by Moscow’s troops since the beginning of their three-year-old invasion of Ukraine - as soon as “military and political conditions allow it”, said Alexei Likhachev. Here's why it's a bad idea:
