Iran allegedly targeted Dimona & Negev nuclear research center as a tit for tat to an earlier attack near Bushehr nuclear power plant. The claim was made by pro-IRGC accounts after a projectile targeted an area near Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant. However it caused ‌no damage or injuries, Iran told the International Atomic Energy Agency. "The IAEA has been informed by Iran that a projectile hit the premises of the Bushehr NPP on Tuesday evening. No ⁠damage to the plant or injuries to staff reported," the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on X. The strike came in the third week of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi reiterated his call for maximum restraint during the conflict to avoid the risk of a nuclear accident.
