Iranian state television says a missile strike on Dimona, home to a nuclear facility in southern Israel, was a “response” to an earlier attack on its Natanz nuclear site.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s atomic energy organisation said the “Natanz enrichment complex was targeted this morning”, adding there was “no leakage of radioactive materials reported”, according to local media.<\/p>\n

The Israeli<\/a> army confirmed “a direct impact of an Iranian missile” on a building in the city that houses a nuclear research facility, AFP reported.<\/p>\n

Israeli media report that at least 39 people were injured, although officials have yet to provide a full breakdown of casualties.<\/p>\n

Dimona sits near one of the most sensitive locations in Irael: the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, long linked to Israel\u2019s undeclared nuclear weapons programme.<\/p>\n

The Israeli state continues to refuse transparency, neither confirming nor denying its arsenal, while maintaining one of the region\u2019s most heavily fortified sites in the Naqab desert.<\/p>\n

The International Atomic Energy Agency says it is aware of reports of a strike in Dimona but has received no information\u00a0of damage to the Negev nuclear research centre from Israel<\/p>\n

However, with Israel maintaining secrecy over its undeclared nuclear programme, questions remain over how much information is being shared with international inspectors.<\/p>\n

The agency said regional authorities reported no abnormal radiation levels and that it is monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n

The strike on Dimona came hours after a US-Israeli attack targeted Iran\u2019s Natanz nuclear enrichment complex.<\/p>\n

Iran condemned the strike as \u201ccriminal attacks\u201d, saying it violated international law and nuclear agreements, including the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and warned of wider consequences.<\/p>\n

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed the Natanz attack but reported no rise in radiation levels outside the facility, as it launched an investigation and urged restraint.<\/p>\n

Iran had previously warned it could target Dimona if Israel continued striking nuclear sites.<\/p>\n

A military source told Tasnim News Agency on Saturday\u00a0that Iran has shifted its strategy, signalling a move beyond a policy of proportional retaliation.<\/p>\n

The source said Tehran now intends to raise the cost of any attack, warning that future responses will be broader and more damaging.<\/p>\n

“The enemy must have realized by now that if they attack one infrastructure, we will attack several of their infrastructures; if they attack a refinery or gas facility, we will attack several similar facilities and teach them a crushing lesson.”<\/p>\n

The source added: “Iran responds to every mistake of the enemy with surprise and sets their interests on fire.”<\/p>\n
