Scoop: Israel destroyed active nuclear weapons research facility in Iran, officials say - eviltoast

Summary

Israel destroyed an active nuclear weapons research facility in Iran, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.

The strike significantly damaged Iran’s efforts to resume nuclear weapons research and sent a message about Israel’s insight into Iran’s top-secret activities.

The International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to vote on a censure resolution against Iran for its lack of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.

    Not my words, it’s the words of many Arab leaders. You all act like nobody in the middle east hated Israel or Jews before 2024. I get you guys have an agenda but come on now

      Israel don’t need nukes. They have one of the most advanced and well funded militaries in the entire world.

      Leaders say a lot of things. Even without nukes, Israel has enough conventional military might to have a significant detergent effect (and to defend against attacks that actually do happen).

      Further, the politics in the middle east has not been Arabs vs Israel for decades. Israel is a well positioned member of the anti Iran coalition.
