JAKARTA - Israeli military officials straightened out the news that they were attacking the Bushehr nuclear facility in Iran. The military only attacked the nuclear facilities of Natanz, Isfahan and Arak.
The official said it was "an error" for a military spokesman to say Israel had attacked the Bushehr nuclear site.
When further pressure was made on Bushehr, the official said he could neither confirm nor deny Israel had attacked the site, where Iran has a reactor.

Bushehr is the only Iranian nuclear power plant (PLTN) operating on the Gulf Coast using Russian fuel.
Potential consequences of the attack on the plant -- polluting the air and water -- have long been a concern in Gulf countries.
Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters the contamination was the worst case currently being prepared by Gulf states.
The source said Gulf countries, in collaboration with the United Nations nuclear watchdog, had prepared contingency plans for any attack on any nuclear plant in the region.
The Russian Embassy in Iran said Bushehr was operating normally and did not see any security threats.
The Prime Minister of Qatar in March warned that an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would contaminate" the Gulf waters and threaten life in Qatar, UAE, and Kuwait.
