Iran says nuclear facilities have been targeted after Israel said attacks 'will escalate and expand'
Iran state media says its nuclear facilities have come under attack, just hours after Israel threatened to “escalate and expand” its campaign against Tehran. IRNA reported Friday that a heavy-water plant and a yellowcake production plant were struck. The agency says there is no risk of contamination. Israel later confirmed it was behind the attacks. U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed ceasefire talks are going well and that he gave Tehran more time to open the Strait of Hormuz. With stock markets reeling and economic fallout from the war extending far beyond the Middle East, Trump is under growing pressure to end Iran’s chokehold on the strait.
