Israel confirmed airstrikes on Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor and a uranium-related facility in Ardakan, targeting infrastructure linked to plutonium production and nuclear fuel processes. The Israeli military said the Arak site had previously been struck in June 2025 and was rebuilt by Iran. Tehran reported no casualties but condemned the attacks, warning of retaliation. The strikes also hit broader infrastructure, including steel factories and a power plant, according to Iran. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps signalled escalation, warning workers at US- and Israel-linked firms to evacuate. Iranian officials criticised the attacks as contradicting US diplomatic efforts, as tensions deepen with threats of a “heavy price” response. (PC: News18)
