Israel Hit Tehran's Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Production Facility

Israel Hit Tehran's Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Production Facility

The IDF revealed details of the operation.

The Israeli military has struck the production of centrifuges for uranium enrichment in Tehran, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported. With the release of the new centrifuges, Iran sought to increase the scale and speed of uranium enrichment for nuclear weapons, the army leadership noted. Also overnight, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) attacked Iranian factories that produce raw materials and components for assembling surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles. Iran uses the former to strike Israeli territory, while the latter are used against the Israeli Air Force, the IDF specified.

Before that, Israel's airstrikes destroyed centrifuges for uranium enrichment at Iran's underground Natanz plant. According to the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Raphael Grossi, the centrifuges may have been disabled by a power outage and destruction of the above-ground part of the plant. Damage from Israeli strikes was also reported at a nuclear facility in Iran's Isfahan. Four buildings were destroyed there, Grossi noted: a central chemical laboratory, a uranium conversion plant, a reactor fuel fabrication plant and a uranium tetrafluoride processing facility. Meanwhile, no damage was reported at the site of the Fordow fuel enrichment plant and the Khondab heavy-water reactor, which is under construction. The Bushehr nuclear power plant has not been the target of recent attacks and has not been damaged, nor has the Tehran research reactor.
