<div class="field field-field-text"><p data-end="272" data-start="91">The United States targeted the perimeter of Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant on Thursday, Iranian state media reported, citing Ehsan Jahanian, deputy governor of Bushehr province.</p>
<p data-end="517" data-start="274">Jahanian said several areas across the province were targeted, including the area around the nuclear plant, a military base in the town of Choghadak and a fishing pier in southern Bushehr. He said there were no immediate reports of casualties.<br>
<br>
Residents in Choghadak, located just over 20km (12 miles) from the Bushehr plant, reported hearing several explosions.<br>
<br>
The Bushehr facility, Iran’s only civilian nuclear power plant, has previously been affected by strikes in the area during the ongoing Middle East war.</p>
