The Times of Israel ^ | March 21, 2026

Iran says it is targeting Dimona, which houses Israel’s main nuclear research center, as a “response” to an earlier strike on the Natanz nuclear enrichment site.

The Israel Defense Forces said it was not responsible for striking Natanz.

Like 1950s juvenile delinquents, the Iranians are getting away with mayhem and have to be stopped. Nuclear radiation spilling into the atmosphere is NOT acceptable.

“The Israel Defense Forces said it was not responsible for striking Natanz.”
Iran probably targeted Natanz themselves to create an excuse to bomb Dimona.

The UN nuclear watchdog issues a call for “maximum military restraint” after an Iranian ballistic missile struck the southern town of Dimona, home to a nuclear facility, wounding over 30 people.

“The IAEA is aware of reports of an incident in the city of Dimona, Israel, involving a missile impact and has not received any indication of damage to the nuclear research center Negev,” the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says in a post on X.

“Information from regional states indicates that no abnormal radiation levels have been detected,” it adds.

Exactly. They’re like the kid that gets the stuffing beat out of him and as soon as his opponent walks far enough away he yells, “Another minute and I would’ve had you, you coward!”

These animals are begging to be wiped out. The people gotta rise. Get them weapons or this could get really bad when we have to do it.

The Israeli Air Force is investigating the failure to intercept the ballistic missile that struck the southern city of Arad a short while ago.

The missile, which is assessed to have carried a conventional warhead with hundreds of kilograms of explosives, injured dozens and caused extensive damage.

This is the sign of a dying regime, they are literally throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. If Iran had been smart they would NOT have launched that attempted attack on Diego Garcia, showing the world that they do indeed have the capability of striking Europe, now they are showing everyone this was a just war, it was 100 percent justified, Iran IS an imminent threat

Thanks IRGC dummies. Israel will put more anti-missile units at Dimona. They should station cement trucks there with long boom hoses just in case.

Anyways Iranian long range missiles are not so accurate. Though seems the Chinese were going help upgrade them. The have previously helped with drone tech and important parts. Guidance too via BeiDou the Chinese GPS.

I believe the hard core Islamist the have controlled Iran for years know they have lost but down to the last fanatic they wil destroy the world if possible because they believe 72 virgins await them at their end. What they don’t know is those virgins are 72 reproductions of Nancy Pelodsi.

They hit a school in the TOWN of Dimona (a War Crime).”:

“At least 47 were injured in Dimona after a building, reportedly a school, collapsed as a result of an impact from an Iranian munition, Magen David Adom said, including a 10-year-old boy in serious condition.”

I’ve been to the town of Dimona. After you leave and head about South East for 10 minutes, you see the restricted nuclear sites. There is no information indicating they hit a military target of any kind in Dimona to my knowledge at this juncture. They missed by some 5 miles.

But glad you got a good laugh at the Jewish women, children and elderly injured by the Islamic terror weapon.
