Axios reported Friday that Israel did indeed attack Iranian nuclear facilities in response to Iran's ballistic missile attack last month, a Breitbart News report based on a theory first advanced by Israeli columnist Caroline Glick. confirmed.
As Breitbart News reported in October:
[Glick] Israel pointed to the attack on Iran's secret military base Parchin, which has long been suspected of being a base for Iran's nuclear program.
media coverage suggest Parchin's targets were “buildings that were part of Iran's defunct nuclear weapons program and … facilities used to mix solid fuel for missiles.” However, the program was probably not “decommissioned,” and Mr. Partin is also said to have been “decommissioned.”Undeclared” nuclear facilities, i.e. IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] I didn't monitor it closely.

Just as it rebelled against the United States by targeting the Hezbollah leadership in Lebanon and killing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza, Israel has gone beyond the limits imposed by the Biden-Harris administration to engage in broader Glick suggested that they may have carried out retaliatory attacks against Iran to achieve their goals. strategic goals.
Barak Ravid on Axios.com reported Friday's “Scoop”:
Israel's attack on Iran in late October destroyed an active, top-secret nuclear weapons research facility in Parchin, according to three U.S. officials, one current Israeli official and one former Israeli official.
Why it matters: Israeli and U.S. officials said the attack targeted a facility that had previously been reported to be inactive, adding to Iranian efforts over the past year to restart nuclear weapons research. He said it caused great damage.
A former Israeli official briefed on the airstrike said sophisticated equipment used to design the plastic explosive needed to surround and detonate the uranium in a nuclear device was destroyed.
In early October, President-elect Trump responded to Iran's ballistic missile attack, the largest attack in human history, and said Israel should destroy Iran's nuclear program. Approximately 85% of the missiles were intercepted.
President Trump has since said he wants to reach a deal with Iran to avoid further war, which may be possible, especially if Iran's nuclear and air defense missile programs are damaged.
