A senior Iranian official told Qatari television station Al Jazeera that "the reactor in Dimona could be a legitimate target if the war escalates to new dimensions." According to the official, "Attacks against Israeli targets are very effective, the Israeli military keeps this secret. We have more advanced missiles than those we have used so far and there is no doubt we will use them." The senior official added that "U.S. joining Israel's side means the war will reach regional dimensions."
