Iran strikes israel's nuclear research center, injuring at least 90

A devastating barrage of Iranian missiles struck southern Israel, targeting the country's main nuclear research center and leaving at least 90 people injured, including 59 in Arad and 33 in Dimona.

First attack on israeli nuclear facility in 12-day war

It was the first time the Dimona complex has been hit since the conflict began three weeks ago. The attack came just hours after Iran's Natanz nuclear facility was struck, with Israel denying responsibility.

Israel's military said it was unable to intercept the Iranian missiles, indicating a shift in the war's dynamics. The strikes left widespread damage in Arad, with at least 10 apartment buildings affected, three of which were in danger of collapse.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue the military campaign, while an Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson accused Iran of reckless attacks that target civilians, exposing the regime's instability and disregard for human life.

The incident raises questions about the Trump administration's strategy to secure or extract Iran's nuclear materials, with sources indicating President Trump is exploring options but has not yet made a decision.
