Netanyahu reveals Israel’s “in the heart of Iran’s nuclear program”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that one of Iran’s highest nuclear facilities was attacked during a strike against the regime on Thursday night.

“Iran has produced high enough uranium for nine atomic bombs,” Netanyahu said. “In recent months, Iran is taking measures that have never been taken before to weaponize this abundant uranium. If not stopped, Iran can produce nuclear weapons in a very short time.”

Nataz Nuclear Facility – One of Tehran’s main nuclear sites, which security experts have marked as coordinated with the Fudo Fuel-enriched Plant, which can produce enough weapon-grade uranium to produce 11 nuclear weapons in one month, but suffered a strike, although the extent of damage is still unknown.

“We are committed to Iran’s bombs targeting leading nuclear scientists,” he added.

It is not clear whether any underground buildings were attacked during Thursday night’s strike.

“We will not give the world’s most dangerous regime the world’s most dangerous weapons, and Iran plans to give these weapons, nuclear weapons and terrorist agents,” Netanyahu said. “This will make the nightmare of nuclear terrorism too real.

“The range of Iran’s ballistic missiles will continue to increase, which will bring nuclear nightmare to cities in Europe and eventually to the United States,” he added.
