Iran Missiles Hit Near Israel's Dimona Nuclear Site: Is Radiation a Threat?
•Iranian ballistic missiles struck near Israel's Dimona and Arad cities on March 21, 2026, approximately 12-20 km from the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center.
•Iran's attack was described as retaliation for an alleged Israeli-American attack on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility, resulting in damaged buildings and over 100 injuries in Dimona.
•The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed no damage to the Negev Nuclear Research Center and no abnormal radiation levels, indicating Iran deliberately avoided hitting the nuclear facility.
•Despite the IAEA's assurances, the attack injured civilians, including a 10-year-old boy in serious condition, and raised concerns about the effectiveness of Israel's Iron Dome defense system.
•The conflict's escalation threatens global oil prices, potentially pushing petrol to ₹120/liter in India, and has prompted warnings from Netanyahu and Trump, signaling a new, dangerous phase in the war.
