Russia Ready to Evacuate Staff from Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Plant

Russia Ready to Evacuate Staff from Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Plant

Russia is prepared to evacuate its workers from a nuclear power plant in Iran called Bushehr if there's a threat.

This plant is important because it's Iran's only operating nuclear power plant, and Russia built it.

The head of Russia's nuclear corporation said they hope the plant stays safe, but they're ready to move their people if needed.

The U.S. has threatened Iran, and Russia is worried about a possible attack.

Iran says it's not making nuclear weapons, and Russia supports Iran's right to use nuclear energy peacefully.
