Iran Air Passenger Plane Destroyed in Israeli Strikes Near Bushehr Nuclear Plant

An Iran Air passenger plane was destroyed on the ground during Israeli airstrikes at Bushehr Airport in southern Iran, according to Iranian media cited by Reuters. The strikes are part of ongoing US-Israeli military operations targeting sites across Iran, including near the Bushehr nuclear power plant, Iran's only operational nuclear facility. Russia's state nuclear corporation Rosatom has suspended construction on additional units at the plant amid security concerns. There is no confirmed information on casualties or official statements from US or Israeli authorities.
