Israel attacks Iranian nuclear facilities: fatal air raid in Ghom!

Ghom, Iran - The conflict between Israel and Iran reached a new escalation level on June 21, 2025. In an unprecedented attack on the Iranian city of Ghom, at least one 16-year-old person was killed and two other people were injured. The air raid hit a residential building in Ghom, which is located about 50 kilometers north of the critical uranium enrichment system in Fordo, which is considered an important goal. At the same time, there was an explosion in the Centraliran City of Isfahan, where air defense was activated. Isfahan is known for its important atomic research center, which has now also been shot. Radio Ennepe Ruhr reports on these dramatic events.

But why this attack? Israel is forced to react to the advanced Iranian nuclear program that worries the international community. Previously, the uranium enrichment system in Natans and other nuclear systems were attacked. This basis in Natans is known for its almost 70 cascades and over 10,000 centrifuges, which can be used for both civilian and military purposes. According to the Tagesschau, the IAEA boss confirms that the system was hit in Natans without increasing radiation values.

reactions to the attacks

The attack on Ghom and the explosion in Isfahan are not the only news. The Israeli air strikes on Iranian nuclear systems are to be seen in response to the intelligence information that indicated that Iran secretly works on the production of an atomic bomb. The extension rate of 60 percent, which has been increased significantly in recent months, could possibly increase to 90 percent in just a few days, which is crucial for the development of nuclear weapons. This is dealt with in detail by ZDF today.

The international community is on alert. Experts warn that military attacks may only delay the progress in the Iranian nuclear program, but cannot stop permanently. While the USA verbally support Israel, a military interference could not be ruled out. The scenario of the further escalation is not excluded due to the active role of proiran militias that have been holding back so far.

In this heated atmosphere, it remains to be seen how Iran will react and whether a diplomatic solution is in sight. With the current uncertainty in the Middle East, the situation could quickly tighten and possibly go into a regional crisis.
