7. Iran has 1 nuclear power plant.

It's built and still run by the Russians using that good-ol' Russian nuclear know-how. Word is there are 5-600 Russians still running the plant (but I doubt all 540 or however many reside there 24/7).

It's by far not the largest power plant in the rump empire that is Iran.

A missile--whether aimed specifically that the building or not--hit a building near the Bushehr plant in the last week to ten days. It was the "metrology" building, the Russians and Iranians claimed. Which means maybe it could have been a building devoted into metering and calibration of said meters. Or maybe it was for something entirely different.

No radiation release was reported to be due to that strike.
