Also on Saturday (March 21, 2026), Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment facility was hit in an airstrike, an official Iranian news agency reported, saying there was no radiation leakage.
Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a video statement that next week, “the intensity of the attacks” by Israel and the United States against Iran's ruling theocracy will “increase significantly.” He spoke shortly after fragments from an Iranian missile slammed into an empty kindergarten near Tel Aviv.
