Israel issues evacuation warnings to residents of parts of Arak and Konda in western Iran.

Gate News bot news, according to CNN, the Israel Defense Forces issued evacuation warnings to residents of Arak and Khondab in western Iran early Thursday morning. The Israel Defense Forces’ Persian channel stated: “The Israel Defense Forces continue operations in the region, just like in recent days across Iran, with the goal of Iran’s regime’s military infrastructure.”

The Israel Defense Forces warned residents to “immediately evacuate from the marked area near Arak-Kondab.”

The Israel Defense Forces stated: “Your presence in the area puts your lives at risk.”

The part marked with a red circle in the statement of the Israel Defense Forces corresponds to the Google satellite image of the Arak nuclear facility, which consists of a heavy water reactor and a heavy water production plant.

The location has raised concerns among Western countries because heavy water (or deuterium oxide) can be used to produce plutonium - the second pathway for manufacturing potential nuclear weapons.
