Russia evacuated 108 workers from the Bushehr nuclear power plant and left a minimal group in the face of the escalation in Iran

Peskov said that “Russia remains willing to offer its services to contribute to the de-escalation of tensions around Iran”, although he admitted the lack of “demand”.

For his part, Lijachov reiterated Moscow's willingness to collaborate on the Iranian nuclear issue, stating that “we have no problem with Iran agreeing to receive uranium, reducing its enrichment and paying its allies with natural uranium, money or other supplies of interest

.”

On the political level, Putin maintained a communication with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday, in which he expressed his intention to mediate the conflict. According to the Kremlin, the Russian president “stressed his willingness to continue to facilitate the search for a political and diplomatic solution to the conflict, as well as to mediate efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in the

Middle East.”

However, the massive withdrawal of Russian technicians from Bushehr exposes an uncomfortable reality for Tehran: even its closest allies are beginning to distance themselves in a scenario where military and strategic pressure from the United States and Israel redefines regional balance and jeopardizes the continuity of the Iranian nuclear program.

In the midst of a growing escalation in the Middle East, marked by the military offensive of the United States and Israel against Iran, Russia decided to evacuate most of its personnel from the Bushehr nuclear power plant, revealing the operational fragility of the program Iranian nuclear power under international pressure. The departure took place on Monday with the evacuation of 108 workers, as confirmed by the general director of Rosatom, Alexei Lijachov, who specified that “one hundred and eight people are currently on their way to Isfahan, everything is going as planned

”.

According to the official, only a small group of 20 employees will remain, including managers and technical managers, who will make up the so-called “final delegation” until the total retirement is complete. The Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, equipped with a 1,000-megawatt reactor, is Iran's only operational civilian nuclear facility. Built with strong Russian support, its operation depends in part on Rosatom specialists. However, the start of the war on February 28, following attacks by the United States and Israel against Iranian targets, radically altered the security scenario

.

Since then, the plant has been the target of at least four attacks, accelerating Moscow's decision to withdraw its personnel. This retreat shows not only the deterioration of conditions on the ground, but also the growing vulnerability of the Iranian regime to a sustained offensive that seeks to curb its nuclear development. At the same time, from the Kremlin, spokesman Dmitri Peskov warned about the global impact of the conflict, particularly on the

energy level.

During his regular press conference, he argued that the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz “these actions will most likely continue to negatively impact international markets.” However, he also acknowledged that many aspects of Washington's strategy “remain unclear”, avoiding deepening direct criticism
