Israel has attacked Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor, Iranian state television said Thursday, adding that there was "no radiation danger whatsoever” and that the facility had already been evacuated before the attack.
Israel warned earlier Thursday morning it would attack the facility and urged the public to flee the area.
The warning came in a social media post on X. It included a satellite image of the plant in a red circle like other warnings that preceded strikes.
The Israeli military said Thursday’s round of airstrikes targeted Tehran and other areas of Iran, without elaborating. It later said Iran fired a new salvo of missiles at Israel and told the public to take shelter.
Already, Israel’s campaign has targeted Iran’s enrichment site at Natanz, centrifuge workshops around Tehran and a nuclear site in Isfahan. Its strikes have also killed top generals and nuclear scientists.
