Israel has confirmed it carried out airstrikes on Iran’s only operational nuclear power plant in Bushehr, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
The facility, which employs Russian technicians and operates on Russian-supplied fuel, is seen as a sensitive site due to its proximity to Gulf nations and its international connections.
According to an Israeli military spokesperson, additional strikes targeted other nuclear-related sites in Isfahan and Natanz, with operations continuing against further locations. These actions come amid heightened regional tensions following a series of Israeli attacks on Iranian infrastructure over the past week.
In response, Iranian missiles reportedly struck an Israeli hospital overnight. The situation has raised concerns about broader escalation, especially as U.S. President Donald Trump has yet to confirm whether the United States will support Israeli military actions.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that military operations would continue until Iran’s nuclear capabilities are dismantled. Defense Minister Israel Katz added that the Israeli military has been instructed to increase pressure on key strategic sites in Tehran, with the stated goal of addressing what Israel perceives as an immediate threat to its national security.
