Dimona, Israel – Iran has made its most provocative claim yet, announcing a direct and successful strike on Dimona — Israel’s highly secretive nuclear research center in the Negev Desert, long rumored to be the heart of the country’s undeclared nuclear program.

On March 21, 2026, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that its ballistic missiles struck the heavily guarded facility, causing significant damage and triggering emergency protocols across Israel. Iranian state media released footage showing explosions and fires at what they described as “the Zionist nuclear weapons site,” calling the strike “a historic blow to Israel’s greatest secret.”
