The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Iran, in a statement, has vehemently denied reports that it is preparing to evacuate diplomatic staff and specialists working at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant.

The diplomatic mission in Tehran on Saturday rejected rumors and baseless claims—circulated by certain news outlets— about the evacuation of Russian diplomatic personnel and nuclear specialists from Iran.

Taking note of reports appearing in certain biased news channels, the Embassy clarified that neither the embassy staff nor the Russian specialists at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant are planning to evacuate.

Work continues as normal, the statement added. 

The Embassy described the circulating reports as part of a disinformation campaign, adding that the source of the claims was well known.

The Embassy statement also urged users to unsubscribe from news channels publishing and circulating false information.
