The warning came in a letter to UN and IAEA officials.

Araghchi noted that in less than nine months, the US and Israel have launched two aggressive wars against Iran.

The letter criticized the UN and IAEA for failing to respond effectively.

The Bushehr plant was hit multiple times by US-Israeli strikes.

Iran reported radiation exposure and one worker killed by projectile fragments.

The IAEA expressed deep concern but determined there was no increase in radiation levels.

Grossi had previously singled out Bushehr as the site where consequences of an attack could be most serious.

Russia condemned the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, warning of grave radiation risks.

Zakharova said there is no military solution to the Iran crisis.

Gulf nations expressed concern about contamination affecting millions.

The strikes forced an evacuation of about 450 people from the UN compound in Tehran.
