US EditionIranian Strikes Near Israel’s Main Nuclear Research Center Injure Dozens, Rescue Services Say
Iran launched missile strikes causing dozens of injuries and heavy damage near Israel's Dimona nuclear center in retaliation amid ongoing regional conflict, officials said.
- On Friday, Iran launched missile strikes near Dimona, Israel's main nuclear research center, injuring dozens and hitting southern cities including Arad, with rescue services responding.
- With few official clarifications, the attacks occur as the war entered its fourth week, forming part of a broader Iran–Israel and regional campaign, with no public Iranian statement since Feb. 28.
- Israeli military said defenses failed to intercept missiles that hit Dimona and Arad, leaving several people in serious condition; rescue services treated multiple shrapnel injuries and footage showed heavy damage in Arad.
- International Atomic Energy Agency said it was looking into the strike and had no reports of damage or abnormal radiation levels, while Israel's army chief Gen. Eyal Zamir warned 'The war is not close to ending'.
- Analysts flagged the Diego Garcia strike as evidence of extended reach, noting Iran may have repurposed a space-launch vehicle; Steve Prest said, 'If you've got a space program, you've got a ballistic missile program', despite Iran's claim to limit range below 2,000 kilometers.
