Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility hit by Israel; IAEA warns of possible radiological release as war escalates - The Economic Times

In recent developments concerning the Iran-Israel conflict, Iran's Natanz nuclear facility was reportedly targeted in joint US-Israeli military strikes. The Director-General of the IAEA has raised alarms about potential radiological releases and has called for restraint. The conflict has escalated, particularly following Hezbollah's rocket fire into Israel, which was framed as a response to the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, confirmed dead by Iranian state media. This has led to increased military actions across the region, with casualties rising. Notably, former President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu have warned of intensified attacks on Iran, emphasizing a severe response if Iran does not disarm. In the aftermath of the Iranian attack on Dubai airport, structural damages were reported, further intensifying tensions.
