Israel has confirmed that it carried out a military strike on a nuclear facility in the Iranian city of Isfahan, escalating an already volatile conflict between the two regional powers.
According to Israeli Army Radio, a military spokesperson announced on Friday: “We attacked the nuclear facility in Isfahan today.” The spokesperson did not provide additional details on the extent of the damage but warned that Iran is expected to continue its efforts to “harm us.”
Isfahan, home to one of Iran’s key nuclear sites, has long been a focal point of international concern due to its uranium conversion capabilities. An attack on such a facility marks a significant and highly provocative escalation in Israel’s ongoing confrontation with Iran.
This latest strike comes on the heels of Israeli air raids on Tehran that killed top Iranian military officials, including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami. Iran has vowed severe retaliation, and tensions across the region remain dangerously high.
International observers have expressed alarm over the potential consequences of targeting nuclear infrastructure, warning it could draw wider regional involvement and jeopardize non-proliferation efforts.
No immediate comment has been issued by Iranian authorities regarding the reported attack in Isfahan.
