🇮🇱🇮🇷 Middle East – In a stunning escalation of regional tensions, Iran’s Atomic Energy Chief has officially confirmed that the Natanz nuclear reactor—long considered the heart of Iran’s uranium enrichment program—has been destroyed by an Israeli airstrike.
Natanz was one of Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear facilities, built deep underground and surrounded by layers of air defense systems. Its destruction represents a major blow to Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and signals that Israel has successfully penetrated the core of Iran’s atomic infrastructure.

This development comes as reports swirl of Israeli multi-wave strikes on high-value military and nuclear targets across Iran. The strike on Natanz is likely to set back Iran’s ability to enrich uranium by months, if not years.

Global analysts warn this event could trigger immediate retaliation by Tehran. With the region on edge, and nuclear diplomacy on life support, the international community is bracing for potential escalation.
