Russia is reaching out to the United States and Israel for a temporary ceasefire to safely

pull more of its staff out from Iran's busher nuclear power.

Plant.

That's the word from Rosatom, the state nuclear corporation, as tensions heat up in

the region.

The head of Rosatom, Alexei Likachev, says they'll share the exact travel routes with

those countries and push for everyone to hold fire while the convoy moves.

This comes after they've already evacuated some personnel amid the escalating conflict.

Folks are watching closely because busher sits right in southern Iran, a key spot for

energy and now a potential flashpoint.

Russian workers had been their building and running the plant for years, so getting

them out safely matters big time for Moscow.

No major updates yet on when the evacuation kicks off, but Russia plans to use every diplomatic

channel to make sure it goes smooth.

Officials haven't detailed how many staff are left or the full risks involved.

With stakes this high around nuclear sites, expect more moves like this to keep things

from boiling over further.

Stay tuned as this unfolds.
