Did the Americans bomb Bushehr?

No, the Americans did not bomb Bushehr. According to multiple reports, the U.S. military strikes targeted three Iranian nuclear sites—Natanz, Fordo (Fordow), and Isfahan (Esfahan)—as confirmed by President Donald Trump and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. These strikes occurred as part of a significant escalation in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, with Fordo being the primary target due to its role in uranium enrichment and its fortified underground structure. There is no mention in the provided information of Bushehr, Iran's only operational nuclear power plant, being targeted in the U.S. attacks ^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}.

While concerns have been raised about the potential environmental and radiological consequences of an attack on Bushehr, with warnings from figures like IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi about the severe impact of a direct hit on the facility, there is no evidence or confirmation of such an attack by U.S. forces. The focus of the strikes has been on sites associated with Iran's nuclear enrichment program, not on Bushehr, which is primarily used for energy production and not uranium enrichment ^[7][8][9].
