Iran's state-affiliated Fars News Agency reports that the Khondab area, site of the Arak heavy water reactor, was struck by projectiles this morning, causing heavy damage. The report is based on a single unverified source and has not been corroborated by independent or official channels.
Iran's Fars News Agency, citing local sources, reported Sunday morning that the Khondab area in central Iran — the location of the Arak heavy water reactor — was attacked with projectiles, causing extensive damage. No further details on the number of projectiles, the source of the attack, or the nature of the damage were provided. The Arak reactor, a key facility in Iran's nuclear program, produces heavy water for plutonium separation, a potential pathway to nuclear weapons. The report is unverified and has not been confirmed by Israeli or international sources. The Zioneer has previously reported on a series of unverified explosion reports across Iran over the past month, including in Karaj, Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, and Shiraz, though none have been independently confirmed. The current report, if true, would mark a significant escalation in the targeting of Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
