Manama: Gulf officials and experts have asked Iran to come clean about its nuclear programme amid growing concerns fuelled by Tuesday’s earthquake close to the Bushehr nuclear power station

“It is difficult to reduce the probability of risks related to the Iranian nuclear programme in light of the uncertainty surrounding the issue and the level of Tehran’s compliance with international standards and requirements,” Waheeb Al Nasser, professor of applied physics at the University of Bahrain, said.

“The earthquake that hit Bushehr occurred in a seismically active area and was around 80 kilometres from Bushehr. We are not against Iran’s nuclear activities in peaceful domains, but there are serious concerns about the facilities and their equipment, especially that the Iranian nuclear issue is shrouded in mystery and the international community has been left with many unanswered questions,” he said in Manama…..

In Kuwait City, environment expert Ilham Al Lingawi said that the Iranian nuclear plant “becomes even more dangerous when there is an earthquake.”
