Live updates: Iran says nuclear facilities have been targeted after Israel warns attacks ‘will escalate and expand’
Iran's nuclear facilities have been targeted in attacks, with a heavy-water plant and a yellowcake production plant struck, according to Iranian state media. The attacks come after Israel warned that its campaign against Tehran would 'escalate and expand', amid growing concerns of a global energy crisis due to Iran's stranglehold on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's nuclear facilities were attacked on Friday, with a heavy-water plant and a yellowcake production plant struck. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned workers at US- and Israel-linked industries to leave their workplaces due to retaliatory operations. The US and Israel launched multiple attacks on industrial and nuclear sites in Iran. Iran's Atomic Energy Organization said the strikes posed no risk of contamination. The UN has set up a task force to address the effects of the Iran war on humanitarian aid and agriculture production. The conflict has caused growing concerns of a global energy crisis.
