Russian-Israeli Tension Over Attack on Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Plant

Translation by SadaNews - Channel 12 reported on Monday evening that there is an unprecedented and acute tension between Russia and Israel following the latter's attacks in the area of the nuclear reactor in Bushehr, Iran, during the past month.

The channel cited unnamed sources stating that in recent weeks, including in the last few days before the ceasefire, the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Russian Embassy in Israel repeatedly approached Israeli officials and warned that the attacks in the reactor area directly endanger the Russian civilians and professionals present there. This was also translated by SadaNews.

It noted the escalation of the Russian tone following one attack very close to the Russian workers, where it later became clear that the Israeli army was unaware of their presence there, and after a Russian protest, their location was precisely determined.

In an extremely unusual message, a high-ranking official in the Kremlin sent an official letter to an official entity in Israel warning them, stating: "You are endangering our people... this is a dangerous game that could lead to a massive nuclear disaster with severe consequences for the entire Middle East... we demand that you cease these actions."

According to the channel, in Israel, it was clarified that the attacks were not directed in any way against any Russian entity, but it is not coincidental that the Russians evacuated almost all of their personnel from the nuclear facility in Bushehr and its vicinity, a move that indicates the high level of concern in Moscow.
