construction workers at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. Russian state
media network Tass said 639 people have been evacuated and that the
remaining personnel would be rescued as soon as there are pauses in the
attacks.

 How close is Iran to a nuclear bomb? Satellite images reveal scale of
damage from US-Israeli strikes. Trump says US and Israel launched attacks
on Iran to eliminate threat of it creating a nuclear weapon – after he
claimed to have ‘obliterated’ its programme in June. According to
Iran’s ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),
airstrikes by the US and Israel targeted the Natanz enrichment facility
over the weekend: a sign that Tehran’s nuclear programme remained intact.
A preliminary report issued by the US Defence Intelligence Agency following
a joint US-Israeli bombing campaign last June found that strikes did
significant damage to the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan sites, but did not
totally destroy the facilities.
