The Israeli military on Friday said it struck an Iranian nuclear facility, coming after Iranian state media reported an attack on its facilities earlier in the day, as warnings of future attacks were issued by Iranian authorities.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), in a post on X, said the Arak plant in central Iran was struck and described the facility as a “key plutonium production site” involved in the alleged production of nuclear weapons.
