Iran Threatens to Target Israel's Dimona Nuclear Reactor If Tehran Regime Is Ousted
Iranian government officials, through their military spokesmen, have threatened to target Israel’s Dimona nuclear site. The serious threat emerges as a response if Israel and the United States continue efforts to overthrow the Tehran regime. According to the semi-official news agency ISNA, the Israeli nuclear facility is now within Tehran’s strategic reach, a statement issued amid a wave of air strikes that has pounded Iranian territory since last weekend.
Meanwhile, according to Iranian state media, the death toll from the US-Israel air strikes has reached 1,045. Field reporters say the attacks have continued unabated across the region. ‘This military campaign is ongoing and leaves no area untouched,’ said Mohamed Vall of Al Jazeera. Hospital data show a tragic impact on younger generations, with at least 300 children and adolescents in intensive care, and more than 6,000 people reported injured.
Separately, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has provided updates on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Observations indicate physical damage to two buildings around the Isfahan site due to the strikes. Nevertheless, the main facilities storing nuclear material remain safe; to date, no damage to the core reactor or radiological leakage risks have been detected.
