Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency says a subsidiary’s email server was hacked from abroad. Information is also published online. An Iranian hacking group called Black Reward tweeted that they were behind the cyber attack. You have published the recorded information on Iranian nuclear activities.
The group said the action was an act of support for protests in the Islamic Republic that began after the death of Iran’s Mahsa Amini in the custody of vice squad last month.
According to Black Reward, the information published includes management and operational plans of various parts of the Bushehr nuclear facility, passports and visas of the Iranian and Russian specialists working there, as well as contracts and agreements on nuclear development plans with domestic and foreign partners. .
Hackers wanted the release of political prisoners
Iran downplayed the importance of the declassified information. According to state media, it was both “technical news” and routine matters.

The international nuclear deal that has curtailed Iran’s nuclear program and eased sanctions against the country is on the brink. The European Union does not currently expect any progress in talks with Iran to revive the agreement. It was negotiated in 2015 by the US, China, Russia, Germany, France, Britain and Iran. However, in 2018, then-US President Donald Trump canceled the agreement and reintroduced US sanctions against Iran. Iran then began violating its obligations under the deal, making it more difficult to revive the deal.
The government in Tehran has always denied the pursuit of nuclear weapons and has stated that it wants to use nuclear energy only for peaceful purposes.
