US, Israeli attacks target Khondab heavy water facility in Iran’s Markazi province
Attacks did not cause any human casualties, Iranian media reports
ISTANBUL
The US and Israeli attacks targeted the Khondab heavy water facility in Iran's Markazi province in two separate attacks, Iranian media reported on Friday.
The attacks did not cause any human casualties, and the local population was not at risk, thanks to prior safety measures, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported, citing a deputy for political and security affairs of the province.
Hostilities in the region have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has retaliated with waves of drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, inflicting casualties and infrastructure damage while disrupting global markets and aviation.
