Times Of Israel: Explainer: The handful of facilities at the core of Iran’s nuclear program
Iran's nuclear program has significantly expanded since the U.S. withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal, with its enriched uranium stockpile now over 45 times the agreed limit. Iran possesses enough near-weapons-grade material for approximately 10 nuclear bombs, raising international concerns.
Recent Israeli strikes targeted key facilities in Iran's nuclear program, including the Natanz enrichment site. Despite Iran's claims of peaceful intentions, its enrichment levels and obstruction of inspections suggest otherwise, prompting ongoing tensions in the region.
The Telegraph: Iran could have built ‘15 nuclear bombs within days’, says Israel after strike
Israel has conducted airstrikes against Iran, claiming the regime possesses enough materials to produce 15 nuclear bombs imminently. Explosions were reported in Tehran, targeting both nuclear sites and the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, indicating a broader strategy against Iran's regime.
This escalation raises concerns about the potential for a regional conflict, as Israel undertakes these actions without U.S. support. The situation remains tense as the international community watches closely.
