Iran announced that its nuclear facilities were targeted in strikes, shortly after Israel warned that attacks against Tehran would escalate and expand.
State media reported that a heavy-water plant and a uranium yellowcake production site came under attack, though no casualties or radiation leaks were confirmed.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said the facilities remain secure, while accusing Israel of violating international law and attempting to derail diplomatic efforts.
Israel’s leadership framed the strikes as part of a broader campaign against Iran’s nuclear program, calling it a direct threat to national and regional security.
The escalation has raised global concerns, with the United States urging restraint and pushing for a ceasefire plan amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
