Israel Iran War: Iran suffered heavy losses in the Israeli attack. Reuters quoted a report as claiming that Iran's top-secret nuclear laboratory was destroyed by an airstrike during an Israeli counterattack in October. This bold step by Israel has dealt a major blow to Iran's efforts to revive nuclear weapons research. The attack also reportedly destroyed sophisticated equipment used to design the plastic explosives that encase the uranium in a nuclear device, a critical component for detonation.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi strongly denied the country's pursuit of nuclear weapons, saying, “Iran is not after building nuclear weapons.” Israeli and US officials, however, tell a different story. According to a report by Axios, the Taleghan 2 facility was once part of Iran's Amad nuclear weapons program, which was halted in 2003, but recent activity suggests a resurgence of its nuclear ambitions. But high-resolution satellite imagery clearly shows that the Taleghan 2 building has been completely destroyed in the Israeli attack.
America had warned Iran
Before the Israeli attack, Iran was warned by the White House about suspicious nuclear research activities discovered by Israeli and US intelligence. But Iran ignored these warnings. This raised concerns “across the board” about Iran's intentions. The US Director of National Intelligence (DNI) also re-evaluated Iran's nuclear program in light of these findings. Iran's covert nuclear activities at Taleghan 2 are not part of its declared program. Which raises questions about its commitment to the nuclear treaty.
This attack may increase tension between Israel and Iran
Tehran is upset by the way Israel has dashed Iran's dreams of nuclear weapons. He is repeatedly threatening to retaliate against Israel. The fear of an upcoming terrible war between these two countries holds the international community's breath. Now it remains to be seen whether Iran will limit its cooperation with the IAEA or whether it will negotiate with European powers on its peaceful nuclear programme? After the Israeli attack, a kind of box of apprehensions has opened and the world is waiting for Iran's next step. (Reuters)
