Iranian Missiles Hit Israeli Towns Near Nuclear Site as Trump Targets Iran’s Power Grid

Iranian missiles struck Dimona and Arad near Israel’s Negev Nuclear Research Center in retaliation for an Israeli strike on Iran’s Natanz facility; more than 160 people were injured. Meanwhile, President Trump warned he would obliterate Iran’s energy plants if Tehran does not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, and Iran threatened retaliation against U.S. and Israeli energy infrastructure. The IAEA said there was no detected damage to the nuclear site, Israel launched strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Iran’s foreign minister spoke with the EU’s foreign policy chief as tensions escalated.

Iran fires missiles at Dimona in retaliation for Natanz strike, injuring 33

Iran launches missiles at Dimona, injuring 33 and saying the attack is retaliation for the Natanz strike; Tehran’s nuclear agency said there was no radioactive leakage, while Israel claimed the missiles were intercepted and denied knowledge of a Natanz strike, and said it struck a Tehran university facility linked to nuclear-weapon components; the violence is part of broader US-Israeli bombardments and Gulf tensions, driving oil prices higher.

US Signals Wind-Down Hint While Boosting Troops as Iran–Israel War Escalates

Live updates show the United States deploying more forces even as President Trump hints at winding down Middle East operations, while Iran and Israel exchange broad attacks across the region.

Natanz Mountain's Hidden Nuclear Threat Persists

Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility remains an unresolved threat. Despite US and Israeli efforts since the June 2025 war, over 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium remains unaddressed and the Pickaxe Mountain site—deeply buried and heavily fortified—has not been neutralized, with satellite imagery showing ongoing fortifications and questions about its operability or the feasibility of destroying or seizing it.

Seizing Iran’s HEU stockpile could demand a major U.S. ground deployment, officials say

Seizing Iran’s HEU stockpile could demand a major U.S. ground deployment, officials say

CNN reports that recovering Iran’s remaining highly enriched uranium would require a substantial U.S. ground force beyond a small special-operations footprint, with most of the stockpile believed at Isfahan’s underground tunnels (around 200 kilograms) and additional material at Natanz. Airstrikes alone are unlikely to reach the tunnels due to their design, prompting discussions of infiltrating JSOC units (potentially with Israeli cooperation) to secure or render the site unusable. Any operation would require extensive ground support—security, logistics, and radiological handling—potentially numbering dozens to hundreds of troops, as six MC-130Js near RAF Mildenhall position for possible action, while Iran’s leadership resilience suggests diplomacy may also be needed.

Day five of US-Israeli strikes on Iran widens regional fallout

On day five of the US-Israeli campaign, strikes hit Iran’s western Tehran area and the Natanz facility, while Iran launched hundreds of missiles and thousands of drones in retaliation, targeting sites across the Gulf including the US embassy in Saudi Arabia and the US consulate in Dubai. Israel expands operations into Lebanon and continues attacks on Iran, regional defenses activate, and evacuations increase as the death toll climbs (Iranian authorities say about 1,045 killed so far). Domestic US politics shift amid debates over the war’s scope, with international mediation efforts beginning to surface.
