Hindustan Times Bushehr Flashpoint: Did Trump and Netanyahu Just Trigger the World’s Worst Nuclear Close Call?

Bushehr is back in the crosshairs as the U.S.-Israel war with Iran moves into its most dangerous phase yet. A third strike in just ten days near Iran’s only operational nuclear power plant has triggered fresh IAEA warnings, Russian concern, and new threats from Tehran that Israel’s own Dimona nuclear site could be next. As Iranian officials vow a “heavy price” and lawmakers openly question whether it’s “time to exit” the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the risk of a nuclear accident, regional escalation, or a direct strike on Israel’s secret nuclear infrastructure has never looked more real. In the latest strikes near the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, why has this civilian reactor become a strategic pressure point in the U.S.-Israel-Iran confrontation, and how repeated hits on nuclear and industrial sites across Isfahan and other provinces are reshaping the battlefield. We look at IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi’s warnings, Russia’s stake via Rosatom, and why any damage at Bushehr could draw in major powers under the banner of nuclear safety and global energy security. We also track Tehran’s promised retaliation: from threats against Israeli nuclear facilities and U.S. power infrastructure in the Gulf, to IRGC commanders declaring that the era of “an eye for an eye” is over. Finally, we unpack the political shockwave inside Iran, where MP Ebrahim Rezaei calls NPT membership “meaningless” after repeated strikes on declared, monitored sites – and what an Iranian exit from the treaty would mean for the region, Israel, and the global non-proliferation regime.
