Iran has warned that its military will target Israel’s Dimona nuclear facility if Israel and the United States attempt regime change in the Islamic Republic, according to a semi-official report from ISNA on Wednesday.

A senior Iranian military official, cited by ISNA, said Tehran would respond decisively to any foreign intervention or conspiracy aimed at toppling the government.

The official specifically named the Dimona nuclear reactor in Israel as a potential target, emphasizing that Iran has the capability to strike key sites if war is imposed.

Protecting sovereignty

The statement highlighted that Iran is prepared to go to any extent to defend its sovereignty and political system. Officials stressed that such a response would be aimed at deterring foreign powers from interfering in the country’s internal affairs.

“This is a clear warning: any attempts to impose regime change will meet with strong and calculated retaliation,” the official said.

Meanwhile. US and Israeli attacks on Iran intensified overnight, with bombings reported at several locations. The Israeli army claimed it targeted military infrastructure and other sites in Tehran, including security command centers. Strikes were also reported in Kermanshah, while bombs were dropped on residential areas in Tabriz and Yazd.

According to officials, the number of casualties from the five-day assault has exceeded 1,045.

Moreover, the United States attacked an Iranian ship near the coast of Sri Lanka, killing 87 people and leaving several others missing.

Separately, the Saudi Ministry of Defense said in a statement that three cruise missiles were intercepted and destroyed near the city of Al-Kharj.
