Russia evacuates 198 more staff from Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant, agencies report

I think it was because the restrictions set ages ago. But there is always a loop hole. Many worked internationally, but used none Iranian passports. It was a guided thing. Travel from home xountry, but remember to go through Germany then this country then 3rd country which was a final destination. It technically became a Ok to work. I may be paraphrasing, cause its been several years since I heard it. But they had to be carefull. Many got caught cause they tried bringing family. Or got cauhht after the fact.

Because their country is actively trying to make a nuclear bomb against the wishes of most of the world. Companies and universities dont want to take the risk being associated with anyone that could potentially lead to embarrassment for their establishment down the line.

Same reason why Trump going to war against "academia' regardless of silly some of it actually is, can and likely will have lasting consequences a generation from now.

Very common issue. Happens to me all the time.

Ha, thank you. I have seen it but I'm a goldfish. I should watch it again

The military campaign in Iran doesn't make sense from a military point of view either lmfao

>Nobody is going to bomb the plant, that makes no sense from a military point of view. You just convinced me Trump/Hegseth are going to do it.

Are you under the impression that the USA is only bombing military targets?

Making sense? That stopped being a thing a while ago.

No sense to bomb schools either but here we are

> Nobody is going to bomb the plant [They already bombed the plant complex.](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/4/iaea-says-projectile-hits-near-irans-bushehr-nuclear-plant-killing-one) Not the reactor itself, but there was damage to buildings that house important things related to keeping the reactor online like cooling systems.

And the USA has only done actions that make sense from a military point of view in the last year? The problem is that you're still expecting them to do rational things. This is not 2010 USA anymore, we can't expect them anymore to do what is rational all the time.

Yes, because Russia historically cares about loss of life...

They are evacuating because the plant already got hit.

Didn't make military sense to bomb elementary schools, universities, hospitals, apartment buildings, civilian bridges in cities etc. But they all got bombed. Why not a nuclear power plant too?

Valve would know

That's a lot of Mooches.

How goes your math?

They do not. Just opinions

Absolutely no evidence of instability? Really?? Its entire leadership getting wiped out isn’t instability???? What the heck is your definition of instability? The regime is unstable as f***. Surviving? Yes. But that does not mean it escaped instability

Im assuming you mean legally… because Russia totally follows the rules. If they want to transfer nukes, they can.

The staff who help run power stations can't help make nukes. Iran wouldn't need Russian scientists to teach them how to make a bomb, they would just need the plans to make one. Russia wouldn't supply them staff as its pointless.

The Russians are leaving whilst nothing is wrong. If America bombs the plant and kills Russians then the people in Russia would demand a retaliation. Russia would absolutely recieve a warning from the US to remove its staff if there is a risk. You will know within an hour if there is a leak as there are publicly avaliable sensors online in the region that will alert if there is a leak.

This. The amount of radioactive material is orders of magnitude higher than in a nuclear explosion, at least if you dont go with "salt-the-earth"-style ground detonations.

They didn't bomb the plant, they bombed the entrance.

They never denied hsving processing radioactive material. They denied having weapon's grade nuclear material, which they didnt as verified by all international observers. Remember US tore up the JCPOA but Iran kept abiding by it between them and the Europeans. This is not a nothingburger but only if you like shifting goalposts like Bibi, or his orange b****.

After all this, you think the US administration is not going to do something because doing that something would be stupid?

> It's just going to create a bad situation, nothing more. When has that ever stopped the Trump regime? They do stupid shit just for the hell of it

>BBC: Iran reports new attacks on Bushehr nuclear plant, sparking IAEA warning https://share.google/dVha7bmnuVJxlFlvt >The area around Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant has been attacked for the fourth time during the current war, Iranian officials say, as the US and Israel continue to target energy and other industrial sites.

No one is going to bomb it. It has no military value. Pretty sure they said the same about Chernobyl. It’d be more helpful if the US military was run by a competent individual rather than, well, that guy.

The girls elementary school was never in danger nor was it the target. They were bombing nearby. The school itself isn't in danger. It's war. Mistakes happen. It's generally best to not put yourself in a position where a mistake can result in a radiation leak. It's why the IAEA - who has never carried water for the Iranians, so it's not like you can accuse them of being soft on them - has publicly condemned these strikes and warned of the potential for dire consequences if the US and Israel keep rolling the dice on these missile strikes. Russia has been slowly pulling their people out since day 1 of this war, but after someone died on site today from shrapnel, they are expediting the removal of the remainder of their personnel. Which basically any country on Earth would do in the same situation.
