Russia has a plan to pull out its workers from Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant if things get too risky. This plant, the only one Iran has running, was built by Russia, and there are more nuclear facilities being constructed there.
Last year, a U. S. attack hit some of Iran's nuclear sites, but Bushehr was left untouched. Russian officials have warned that hitting Bushehr could cause a disaster as bad as the Chernobyl accident in 1986. Recently, the U. S. president told Iran to negotiate or face a stronger attack next time.
The head of Russia's nuclear agency said they hope everyone involved will keep the Bushehr site safe. But just in case, they are ready to evacuate their staff with help from other government departments. Iran says it's not trying to build nuclear weapons, and Russia supports its right to use nuclear energy peacefully.
This situation shows how complicated international relations can be, especially when it comes to nuclear energy and safety. It's a reminder that even peaceful projects can become caught up in bigger conflicts.
