Iran’s UN atomic envoy has denied any intention to resume uranium enrichment for a nuclear weapon, labeling the US-Israeli strikes on its Bushehr plant as a "war crime" under international law. He also asserted that US-Israeli strikes on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant constitute a “war crime”. He denied that Iran had “restarted enrichment” following strikes on its nuclear facilities in June 2025. The Bushehr plant was hit for a third time in 10 days, according to the IAEA. “Any attack on the nuclear power plant in Bushehr would be in clear violation of international law, international humanitarian law,” Najafi said.
