Iran Threatens Israel's Dimona Nuclear Facility: What if it's Attacked?
•Iran has warned it will target Israel's Dimona nuclear facility if the US and Israel attempt regime change in Iran, as reported by The Times of Israel and Reuters.
•Dimona, officially the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, is a plutonium-producing nuclear reactor in Israel's Negev Desert, not for electricity generation.
•Israel maintains nuclear ambiguity, neither confirming nor denying nuclear weapons, but is estimated to possess 90-400 warheads.
•An attack on Dimona could cause a Chernobyl-like radiation leak, leading to widespread contamination, increased cancer risks, and environmental destruction.
•Iran possesses long-range missiles capable of striking Dimona, while Israel defends the site with advanced systems like Arrow, David's Sling, and Iron Beam.
