Iran - Israeli attacks on nuclear site

In late October, Israel launched an attack on Iran’s Parchin military complex, an active top secret nuclear weapons lab, specifically targeting the Taleghan 2 facility, a site previously believed to be inactive. This bold move has significantly damaged Iran’s efforts to revive its nuclear weapons research, which had been secretly ongoing since last year. The strike destroyed sophisticated equipment used to design plastic explosives that surround uranium in a nuclear device, a crucial component for detonation. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi vehemently denies the country’s pursuit of nuclear weapons, stating, “Iran is not after nuclear weapons, period.” However, Israeli and US officials reveal a different story.
