Israel’s strike on Iran last month destroyed an active nuclear weapons and research facility in Parchin, Axios reported, quoting three US officials, one current Israeli official, and one former Israeli official.
The site was previously reported to be inactive, Axios added. However, it is now clear that the strike “significantly damaged” Iran’s efforts to resume nuclear weapons research.
According to US and Israeli officials, the Taleghan 2 building was being used for nuclear research that could also be presented as important for civilian purposes.
Just to be clear, Iran never reported this site as part of its nuclear program so that means Israel technically kept its word to the Biden administration and didn’t attack any Iranian nuclear site. We cannot fathom that Israel did not have knowledge of the Taleghan 2 site to begin with. The strike against it proves that Israel has had significant knowledge of the inner structure of the Iranian system even though this site was kept top secret among a select few in the Iranian government. Bravo!
