Israel launches strikes on nuclear sites as Iran warns of retaliation

Uranium facility, steel plants and heavy water complex among targets hit as IRGC warns of escalation.

Israel has struck a uranium processing facility in the central Iranian city of Yazd, the Israeli military confirmed, in an escalatory move that comes as regional diplomats have been attempting to broker an agreement to halt the joint US-Israeli war on Iran.

The Israeli Air Force said it hit a plant used to extract raw materials essential to the uranium enrichment process, describing it as a “unique facility” in Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization confirmed the strike, but said there were no casualties or radiation leaks.

Rosatom says situation at Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant keeps deteriorating

MOSCOW, March 28 - The situation at Iran's Bushehr nuclear ‌power plant continues to deteriorate and attacks pose a direct threat to nuclear safety, the head of Russia's state ​nuclear corporation Rosatom said on Saturday after ​another strike near the facility.
The International Atomic Energy ⁠Agency said on Friday that Iran had informed ​it of another strike in the vicinity of Bushehr, ​the third such incident in 10 days, with no damage to the operating reactor and no release of radiation reported.

The ​Russian Foreign Ministry on Saturday called for "unequivocal and ​firm condemnation" of the attack near Bushehr.
"We hope that, by ‌receiving ⁠timely and objective information directly from the Iranian authorities about what is happening on the ground, the Director General of the IAEA will be able ​to convey ​a simple ⁠message to the aggressors immediately and unequivocally: ‘It is time for you to stop!'," ​its spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a ​statement.
