media outlets reported that a missile launched by Iran struck near sensitive facilities in the southern Israeli city of Dimona, raising alarm over escalating hostilities.
According to Agence France-Presse, at least 20 people were injured in the attack, though details about the severity of injuries and extent of damage remain unclear.
Israeli authorities have not yet released a full assessment of the impact, while emergency teams were deployed to the area to respond to the aftermath of the strike.
Iranian officials described the missile attack as a retaliatory measure following earlier strikes on its nuclear-related facilities in Natanz, framing it as part of an ongoing exchange.
The International Atomic Energy Agency expressed concern over the escalation, warning that continued military actions near nuclear-linked sites increase the risk of a serious incident.
Dimona is widely associated with Israel’s nuclear program, making it one of the most sensitive and strategically significant locations in the country.
Meanwhiel, Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, giving Tehran a 48-hour deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He said the United States could strike key Iranian infrastructure, including major power plants, if the waterway is not reopened, raising fears of a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
In response, Iranian military officials warned that any attack on the country’s energy facilities would be met with immediate retaliation. Statements carried by state-linked media said Iran would target US-linked infrastructure across the region, including energy and strategic installations, signaling a readiness to escalate if threatened.
Recent weeks have seen intensified conflict between Iran and Israel, with both sides targeting strategic and military infrastructure in a rapidly evolving confrontation.
The latest strike underscores the fear of further escalation, as international bodies warn that continued attacks near nuclear facilities could have severe regional and global consequences.
