On March 17, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran issued a statement stating that the Bushehr nuclear power plant area was attacked around 19:00 that day. The attack did not cause any personnel, financial, or technical facility losses, and no departments of the nuclear power plant were damaged.

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran strongly condemned this behavior in the statement, noting that it seriously violates the provisions of international law that "strictly prohibit military attacks on nuclear facilities." The statement pointed out that such actions targeting nuclear facilities could have irreversible consequences for the countries along the Persian Gulf coast and the entire Middle East region.
