Iran state TV says attack on Israel town a 'response' to strike on nuclear site
Tehran, March 21 (AFP) Mar 21, 2026
Iranian state TV said a missile attack on the Israeli town of Dimona, home to a nuclear facility, was a "response" to an earlier strike on its own nuclear site at Natanz.

Iran's atomic energy organisation had said earlier in the day that the "Natanz enrichment complex was targeted this morning", though there was "no leakage of radioactive materials reported", according to a statement carried by local media.

The missile strike in Dimona wounded at least 39 people, according to Israeli emergency services.
