In a chilling new threat that could push the Middle East to the brink of catastrophe, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has reportedly authorized preparations for a direct strike on Israel’s Dimona nuclear facility — the heart of Israel’s undeclared nuclear program.

IRGC sources and Iranian state media signaled that “all options are on the table” following what they call Netanyahu’s “fatal blunder” — the decision to ᴀssᴀssinate Mojtaba’s father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in the opening hours of Operation Epic Fury. “The Zionist regime crossed every red line,” a senior IRGC commander warned. “Dimona will not be spared if the aggression continues.”

The mere threat of an attack on Dimona has sent shockwaves through Jerusalem and Washington. The facility, located in the Negev Desert, is one of the most heavily defended sites in the world, but Iranian advances in ballistic missiles and hypersonic glide vehicles have raised serious concerns about its vulnerability.

This latest escalation comes as Israel is already reeling. Major airbases including Nevatim, Ramat David, and Palmachim have been repeatedly hammered, the Shin Bet headquarters has taken multiple hits, and reservist forces have been urgently called up to reinforce the northern front against Hezbollah.

Meanwhile, the United States finds itself in an increasingly difficult position. The USS Gerald R. Ford continues suffering recurring fires, while the USS Abraham Lincoln has faced repeated Iranian missile attacks and reduced operations. America has already burned through more than $11 billion in munitions in the first week alone, with critical radar systems destroyed and interceptor stockpiles running dangerously low.

President Trump has remained defiant, but sources say behind-the-scenes panic is growing in Washington over the possibility of a direct Iranian strike on a nuclear target.

Has Netanyahu’s aggressive strategy dragged the entire region — and potentially the world — into an uncontrollable nuclear shadow war? By eliminating the elder Khamenei, Israel may have created an even more dangerous and unpredictable adversary in Mojtaba.

As Iranian forces openly prepare for what could be their most provocative strike yet, the question looms large: Did Operation Epic Fury awaken a monster that neither Washington nor Jerusalem is truly prepared to face?

The stakes have never been higher. One missile toward Dimona could change everything.
