Iranian Missiles Strike Dimona and Arad, Injuring Over 100

The strikes exposed air-defense gaps near sensitive nuclear sites, heightening the risk of broader escalation.

Overview

  • Israel’s Magen David Adom reported at least 64 injured in Arad, including several in serious condition, while separate impacts in Dimona left dozens more wounded.
  • The Israel Defense Forces said interceptors failed to stop at least one ballistic missile and opened an investigation into the air-defense lapse.
  • The International Atomic Energy Agency reported no abnormal radiation and no confirmed damage at the Negev Nuclear Research Center near Dimona.
  • Iran also fired long‑range missiles toward the U.S.-U.K. base at Diego Garcia, which the U.K. confirmed and condemned, as Israel’s military warned the range could reach major European capitals.
  • U.S. Central Command said it destroyed an Iranian coastal missile storage site to reduce threats to the Strait of Hormuz, and President Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum demanding the waterway’s reopening under threat to Iran’s power plants.
