Israel launched a fresh wave of strikes against Tehran in the early hours of Sunday after dozens of people were injured in Iranian missile strikes across the country.
The IDF accused Iran of ‘targeting’ civilian communities after two missiles struck the towns of Arad and Dimona in southern Israel, leaving more than 70 injured.
Dimona is located around 13km from Israel’s Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, a top-secret nuclear weapons facility in the Negev desert.
Iranian state media claimed the attack was a ‘response’ to an earlier strike on its own nuclear site at Natanz, which Israel has denied responsibility for.
It comes as Israel warned major cities across the globe, including London, Paris, and Berlin, could all be under threat from Iranian missiles after the regime launched a strike on a British military base in the Chagos Islands.
Meanwhile, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch accused the Prime Minister of a ‘cover-up’ over the Iranian attack on the UK-US military base, after the Government remained silent.
Overnight on Saturday, Tehran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the Diego Garcia base, in the Chagos Islands.
Ms Badenoch told the Telegraph: ‘The Prime Minister needs to immediately come clean about the details of this latest attack on British troops and explain why the public weren’t informed sooner.’
Elsewhere, Donald Trump has threatened to ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants if it does not ‘fully open’ the Strait of Hormuz in the next 48 hours, giving it until early morning on March 24 to do so.
Iran’s military later responded to the ultimatum, saying if Iran’s fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked by all energy infrastructure belonging to the US would be targeted.
