Russian nuclear energy head Alexei Likhachev says that conditions at Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant, where hundreds of Russian experts are stationed, remain “normal” and fully under control.

When asked about the plant’s status, Likhachev told reporters: “So far the situation is completely under control, everything is normal. The night passed in the usual anxious but manageable atmosphere.”

He continued: “We continue to work in pre-mobilization mode and very much hope that all our signals from yesterday reached the zionist leadership.”
