Iranian state media confirmed fresh airstrikes on key nuclear-linked facilities, including the Khondab heavy water complex at Arak and the Ardakan yellowcake production plant in Yazd. Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation blamed the “American-Zionist enemy,” stating both sites were hit in a two-stage attack but caused no casualties or contamination risks. The strikes followed warnings from Israel about expanding military operations. The targeted facilities are crucial for reactor moderation and uranium processing. The escalation comes amid broader regional conflict, with US President Donald Trump claiming progress in war-ending talks while pressuring Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran denies negotiations, as military tensions and global economic concerns intensify. (PC: X)
