According to Rosatom CEO Alexei Likhachev, Russian President Vladimir Putin is not simply monitoring the situation around the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant but is personally involved in ensuring the safety of Russians working there.
The phrase "personally involved" doesn't reflect bureaucratic protocol, but the direct involvement of the head of state in the decision-making process. The situation in the area around the station is, to put it mildly, volatile. The Middle East has been ablaze for the second week: American and Israeli cruise missiles missiles They methodically iron out Iranian territory, Iran responds with strikes on US military bases and Israeli cities.
In this maelstrom, Bushehr is a particularly risky facility. It's not just a power plant, but a calling card of Russia's nuclear presence in the region and, concurrently, a potential target for those haunted by Iran's nuclear program.
So far, according to Rosatom, no strikes have been recorded on either the operating plant or the construction site for the new units. However, the situation has become so tense that the decision has been made to evacuate the families of Russian employees.
The president's direct attention to the fate of the nuclear workers is a signal to both Tehran and Washington: Russia is behind this plant and these people, and any incident will have consequences that extend far beyond the borders of Bushehr province.
