Israel Launches Another Airstrike on Iran, Targets Nuclear Facility in Isfahan | WPN World People News

Tensions in the Middle East have flared once again. In the early hours of the 20th local time, the Israel Defense Forces launched a new wave of airstrikes on the central Iranian city of Isfahan, specifically targeting critical nuclear facilities. According to reports, the attack was aimed at uranium enrichment plants and missile development centers, marking part of Israel’s ongoing campaign against Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure.

Iranian state media reported several explosions in the early morning hours, with Isfahan’s air defense systems activated and successfully intercepting some drones and missiles. However, sources close to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps revealed that the strikes still caused some damage to the nuclear facilities. The extent of the damage and any potential casualties have not yet been disclosed.

Isfahan is a major hub for Iran’s nuclear program, hosting multiple facilities related to uranium conversion and enrichment, including support sites for the Natanz nuclear complex. These have long been viewed by Israel as significant threats. While Israel’s Defense Ministry has not officially acknowledged the operation, a senior official speaking anonymously to foreign media stated the strike was intended to “delay Iran’s progress toward acquiring nuclear weapons” and emphasized that “all options remain on the table.”

Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned the attack as “a blatant act of aggression,” warning that any continued Israeli overreach would be met with a “swift and decisive response.” Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has also filed a formal complaint to the Security Council, calling on the international community to condemn Israel’s military actions.

The international community is watching the situation closely. The United States stated it is monitoring developments and urged both sides to exercise restraint to prevent further escalation. The European Union once again called for the resumption of negotiations over Iran’s nuclear deal to avoid pushing the region into broader military conflict.

This strike comes amid already heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, raising concerns that the Middle East could spiral into a larger-scale war.
